Before you can control conditions, you must first control yourself.

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.

Lead from the back and let others believe they are in front

I never expect men to give us liberty. No, women, we are not worth it until we take it.

The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten.

Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality.

Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps.

If you ever injected truth into politics you would have no politics.

Patriots always talk of dying for their country but never of killing for their country.

Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.

A conservative is a man who sits and thinks, mostly sits.

Let my enemies devour each other.

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

In the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can change it.

Action expresses priorities.

Quitting is leading too.

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.

Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when youmove, fall like a thunderbolt.
