Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.

We have the means and the capacity to deal with our problems, if only we can find the political will.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.

Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.

Quitting is leading too.

A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!

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

Wise men say nothing in dangerous times.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

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

Democracy is the road to socialism.

I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.

I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few

That is why we fight - in hopes of a day when we no longer need to.

Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.

While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State.
