Here's my strategy on the Cold War: "We win, they lose."
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so.
Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.
The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.
Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.
I've laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.
