The Bible tells us there will be a time for peace. But, so far in this century, mankind has failed to find it.

Self-defense is not only our right; it is our duty.

As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it.

Whatever else history may say about me when I'm gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty's lamp guiding your steps and opportunity's arm steadying your way.

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.

Through you, we feel as giants, once again.

While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.
