Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.

There are websites that any government wants to block. The truth about the Internet is that it’s extremely hard to block anything – extremely hard. You’ll never get perfect blocking.

Man is not free unless government is limited.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

The people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes.

If people continue to feel like Democrats are looking after poor folks and Republicans are looking after rich folks and nobody is looking after me, then we don’t get a lot of stuff done. And the trend lines evidence the fact that folks have gotten squeezed. And obviously, 2007, 2008 really ripped open for people how vulnerable they were.

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

Africans require, want, the franchise on the basis of one man one vote. They want political independence.

There’s some jerks. There’s some big egos. There are a few that think they’re one of the Founding Fathers… in both parties.

I just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.

I always feel like it’s two key ingredients when it comes to following your dreams, making something happen that the average person deems difficult. If you truly believe it, that’s step one. Step two, is, you know, the hard work that goes along with it.

I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.

Only a liberal senator from Massachusetts would say that a 49 percent increase in funding for education was not enough.

The ballot is stronger than the bullet.

It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

I feel good because I believe I have made progress in rebuilding the people’s trust in their government.

It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false.

He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

When a new source of taxation is found it never means, in practice, that the old source is abandoned. It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had one before.

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

There’s a lot of fuss on the Left about election irregularities, like, you know, the voting machines were tampered with, they didn’t count the votes right, and so on. That’s all accurate and of some importance, but of far more importance is the fact that elections just don’t take place, not in any meaningful sense of the term ‚election.‘

It’s not proper for the government to intrude too thoroughly into the domain of the family. It’s inappropriate.

The issues that cross a president’s desk are never easy. The easy questions don’t even get to the president.

Lincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

The fundamental question I believe is, ‚Is political Islam in our best interest?‘ If not, what is our policy to authoritatively support the countervailing forces?

All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

I do believe in the energy and the productivity of the American business world.

Governments will always play a huge part in solving big problems. They set public policy and are uniquely able to provide the resources to make sure solutions reach everyone who needs them.
