"In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it."
"Sometimes people need a kick in the pants to get them to do what they would be doing if government weren't there as a perpetual parent."
"People who relieve others of their money with guns are called robbers. It does not alter the immorality of the act when the income transfer is carried out by government."
"Government has a legitimate function, but the private sector has one too, and it is superior. In other words, people are better than institutions."
"The difference between the more traditional sports clubs and Congress is that Congress doesn't really compete against another team."

"Politicians have limited power. They can't impose morality on themselves. How can they impose it on the country?"
