The four most miserable years of my life . . .

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.

I've always longed to have a patch of personal wilderness. Of waist-high grass entwined with wildflowers through which I can prance

I was just an okay person.

It takes solitude under the stars, for us to be reminded of our eternal origin and our far destiny.

I used to suffer from excessive pride. Well, I got over that one.

I text my girlfriends. I look at Facebook. I check my e-mail. If I'm away from the news cycle more than a few hours, I feel out of touch.

If there is love enough,then nothing-not nature, not even death itself- can come between two who love each other.

if you offer wisdom from a third party, it seems less arrogant and more acceptable.

Evil deeds are the fruit of an evil heart. They are not an aberration from our true self but a revelation of it.

The way people love sci-fi is how I love cartoons.
