It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.

History shows that our way of life is the stronger way. From it has come more wealth, more industry, more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way.

I believe the moral losses of expediency always far outweigh the temporary gains.

In no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution.

Tolerance is the assumption of superiority

There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
