I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.

Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.

I've always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world would disappear if we were talking to each other instead of about each other.

Over hundred years ago Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act. There was wide distribution of land and they didn't confiscate anyone's privately owned land... We need an industrial Homestead Act.

Once people who have been deprived of basic freedom taste a little of it, they want all of it.

I believe now, as I alway have, that America's strength is in 'We the People.'

Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.
