Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.

The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.

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

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
