The National defense is one of the cardinal duties of a statesman.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.

Always stand on principle even if you stand alone.

But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

Power always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.

One useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three is a Congress.

The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing.

There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.

Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.

Strange how complicated we can make things just to avoid showing what we feel!

Every single thing you do matters. You have been created as one of a kind. You have been created in order to make a difference. You have within you the power to change the world.

Creating a meaningful life has less to do with how we feel about our past than what we do about our future.

A person with imprecise ideas can understand little and be of less help to others.

I had the title poet, and maybe I was one for a while. Also, the title singer was kindly accorded me, even though I could barely carry a tune.

I believe that preventing radicalisation is far more efficient than de-radicalisation, meaning stopping someone joining is a lot easier than trying to pull someone out once they've joined.

If you put enough sheep together you have a herd- a force to be reckoned with.

I always feel like a woman designing for a woman. I know what you want to accentuate and what you want to hide.

Sometimes I hate the job that I do as an actor. I feel like I'm just of no importance in the world, but sometimes you get a real thrill out of the diversity of the work.

The hard times make a true friend afraid to ask.
