There was a time when "sound as a dollar" was a description, not a joke.

Two visions of the world remain locked in dispute. The first believes all men are created equal by a loving God who has blessed us with freedom. The second vision believes that religion is opium for the masses. It believes that eternal principles like truth, liberty, and democracy have no meaning beyond the whim of the state. And [Vladimir] Lenin spoke for them.

It should be the right of the individual to decide whether he wants to belong to a union.

Tyranny, like fog in the well known poem, often creeps in silently 'on little cat feet.'

We establish no religion in this country. We command no worship. We mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are and must remain separate.

The fact is, we'll never build a lasting economic recovery by going deeper into debt at a faster rate than we ever have before.

I usually never walk by a microphone.
