The difference between a thief and a congressman: When a thief steals your money, he doesn't expect you to thank him.

But let me offer you my definition of social justice: I keep what I earn and you keep what you earn. Do you disagree? Well then tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you - and why?

Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man. Capitalism made it possible to become wealthy by serving your fellow man.

No matter how worthy the cause, it is robbery, theft, and injustice to confiscate the property of one person and give it to another to whom it does not belong.

If one person has a right to something he did not earn, of necessity it requires that another person not have a right to something that he did earn.

Democracy and liberty are not the same. Democracy is little more than mob rule, while liberty refers to the sovereignty of the individual.

The Founders knew that a democracy would lead to some kind of tyranny. The term democracy appears in none of our Founding documents. Their vision for us was a Republic and limited government.

In a free society, government has the responsibility of protecting us from others, but not from ourselves.

Always be suspicious of those who pretend to know it all, claim their way is the best way and are willing to force their way on the rest of us.

I prefer a thief to a Congressman. A thief will take your money and be on his way, but a Congressman will stand there and bore you with the reasons why he took it.

Most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place.

Freedom is not given to us by anyone we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice... No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.

Hillary's [Clinton] not a fighter.

Hope . . . never stops at all.

Those old stories of visions and dreams guiding men have their truth; we are saved by making the future present to ourselves.

Virtue, as such, naturally procures considerable advantages to the virtuous.

What interests me is seeing a problem and doing something about it, not all of the stuff around it.

Magnetizing things to ourselves is a natural process, but what are we magnetizing towards ourselves, is what we're giving out.

Travelling carries me to the surface, away from the deeps of home-thoughts.

The law, that is what makes men stay honest.

Most important, Christmas should be a spiritual experience....Christmas is not just an event in time; it is a spiritual experience available to every person who hears the Gospel.
