We're Americans, and we have a rendezvous with destiny . . . No people who have ever lived on this earth have fought harder, paid a higher price for freedom, or done more to advance the dignity of man than Americans.

People don't start wars, governments do.

The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom...

The American people cannot close their eyes to abuses of human rights and injustice, whether they occur among friend or adversary or even on our own shores.

I thought the function of the government was to promote the general welfare, not to provide it.

A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.
