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

An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.

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

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

Freedom (n.): To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing.

Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.

Example is leadership.

To lead the people, walk behind them.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.

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

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
