Trust, but verify.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.

Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours.

The objective I propose is quite simple to state: to foster the infrastructure of democracy — the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities — which allows a people to choose their own way to develop their own culture, to reconcile their own differences through peaceful means.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.

Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.
