And I think it’s that time. And I think if you just step aside and Mr. Romney can kind of take over. You can maybe still use a plane. Though maybe a smaller one. Not that big gas guzzler you are going around to colleges and talking about student loans and stuff like that.

Liberals are not always so liberal with people who disapprove – disapprove of their point of view.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.

But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors… I mean it.
