I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Information is the currency of democracy.

When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one.

A disordered currency is one of the greatest political evils.

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

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property

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

Can a nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot.

Quitting is leading too.

Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune.

If you want to make enemies, try to change something.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

Democracy is the road to socialism.

The defence of our rights and our dignity, as well as efforts never to let ourselves to be overcome by the feeling of hatred - this is the road we have chosen.

The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.

A tiny and closed fraternity of privileged men, elected by no one, and enjoying a monopoly sanctioned and licensed by government.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.

I fight on. I fight to win.
