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

A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

By 2000, politics will simply fade away. We will not see any political parties.

Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and of a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.

This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are.

He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.

Any excuse will serve a tyrant.

It has been said that Democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

Fascism is capitalism in decay.

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

Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.

Loyalty to country always. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.

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

The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.

In politics, If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.

Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.

Politics have no relation to morals.
