A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
George William Curtis

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have."
Barry Goldwater

"Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is--the strong horse that pulls the whole cart."
Winston Churchill

"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it."
Judge Learned Hand

"There are severe limits to the good that the government can do for the economy, but there are almost no limits to the harm it can do."
Milton Friedman. Nobel laureate

"Ever time government attempts to handle our affairs, it costs more and the results are worse than if we had handled them ourselves."
Benjamin Constant, Brazilian statesman 1833-1891

"Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
Sarah Brady to Howard Metzenbaum, 1984

"A free lunch is only found in mousetraps."
- John Capozzi

When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.
- Thomas Jefferson

A nation which makes the final sacrifice for life and freedom does not get beaten.

Unknown

Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower ~

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!
- Benjamin Franklin



* ALBERT EINSTEIN
“The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are constitutional rights secure.”
