If you ask the government to impose morality, then moral questions will be decided by whoever has the most political power.

The coercive power of government is always a beacon to those who want to dominate others -- summoning the worst dregs of society to Washington to use that power to impose their will upon others.

If the Fed had a war on abortion like its war on poverty or war on drugs, within five years men would be having abortions!

I want a government small enough to fit inside the Constitution.

Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. They are the same thing.

A secure individual...knows that the responsibility for anything concerning his life remains with himself-and he accepts that responsibility.

Security ... it's simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that you're willing to deal with whatever happens.
