We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail.

To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility.

An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.

Within the soul of America is freedom of mind and spirit in man. Here alone are the open windows through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit.

We don’t hide our space program. We don’t keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That’s the way freedom is, and we wouldn’t change it for a minute.

For I can raise no money by vile means.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

I want to do a certain thing in the world, and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.

We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.

Sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win.

I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.

If proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.

A new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man’s heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.

I don’t care about money.

Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.

Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.

What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts.

If you grow up in a very strong religion like Catholicism you certainly cultivate in yourself a certain taste for the intensity of ideas.

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.

I was always respectful of people who were deeply religious because I always felt that if they gave themselves to it, then it had to be important to them. But if you can go through life without it, that’s OK, too. It’s whatever suits you.

I am a Christian and a Democrat, that’s all.

The spirit of America has nurtured responsibility and community unlike any other country.

We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.

Having a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing seems to me to be one of the most basic principles that you can adopt to contribute to individual and world peace.

The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.

The more you practice, the better you get, the more freedom you have to create.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

All I’m for is the liberty of the individual.

Now I do whatever I want.

Gold is good in its place; but loving, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.

After it is all over, the religion of man is his most important possession.

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

Freedom conceives that the mind and spirit of man can be free only if he be free to pattern his own life, to develop his own talents, free to earn, to spend, to save, to acquire property as the security of his old age and his family.

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

I’ll never tell a lie. I’ll never make a misleading statement. I’ll never betray the confidence that any of you had in me. And I’ll never avoid a controversial issue.

The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.

I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.

No amount of ability is of the slightest avail without honor.

The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.

We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.

I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things – such as traditional marriage – that, I think, express a community’s concern and regard for a particular institution.

Modesty is the color of virtue.

I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.

A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.

To abandon oneself to principles is really to die – and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
