No system of regulation can safely be substituted for the operation of individual liberty as expressed in competition.

We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.

The most important office, and the one which all of us can and should fill, is that of private citizen.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

The only title in our democracy superior to that of President is the title of citizen.

The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people.

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh or surprises anyone, but this is where we are. If you want the outcome to be different, you will have to do something about it.

What I do doesn't sit well in the world of hipsterville. I don't have a cool card, but I also don't have thin skin.

I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.

When you are unhappy, you are just coming in touch with your own boundaries. Turn the whole situation into a prayer & you will walk through it.

All of the people in my building are insane. The guy above me designs synthetic hairballs for ceramic cats.

You have to stop looking in the mirror and realize that your living for yourself, not other people.

Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I've ever seen.
