Government doesn't work. That's the first lesson we must learn if we want to improve society.

Government doesn't work. You work, I work, Federal Express works, Microsoft works, the Salvation Army works, Alcoholics Anonymous works, but government doesn't.

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.

You don't have to buy from anyone. You don't have to work at any particular job. You don't have to participate in any given relationship. You can choose.

Give politicians power and it certainly will be abused eventually - if not by today's politicians, then by their successors.

America rules the world - by force.

For most of our history, Americans enjoyed both liberty and security from foreign threats.
