Ted Cruz is a small-government conservative.

The GOP establishment, in particular, is facing a pick-your-poison kind of decision. Many establishment Republicans dislike [Ted] Cruz personally. He has no Senate endorsements.

Republicans like Trent Lott, saying [Donald] Trump would be more flexible [then Ted Cruz].

The Republican Party, right now, is a conservative populist party.

You have to know that your real home is within.

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

What is more useful than fire? Yet if any one prepares to burn a house, it is with fire that he arms his daring hands.

Capital must be propelled by self-interest; it cannot be enticed by benevolence.
