Find out what people want and help them get it.

The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you. Protecting yourself from harm is your responsibility, and you are far less likely to be hurt in a neighborhood of gun-owners than in one of disarmed citizens - even if you don't own a gun yourself.

Politicians are notoriously economically illiterate. And even when they know what would be the right thing, we don't really expect them to do it.

When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer.

It's wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that "compassion."

I found that I was getting a warm reception for my message of freeing you from the income tax, releasing you from Social Security, ending the insane war on drugs, restoring gun rights, and reducing the federal government to just its constitutional functions.

What we really need is compassion of the mind - compassion for others that is directed intelligently and produces truly compassionate results.
