“I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.”
“Whether it is in the United States or in mainland Europe, written constitutions have one great weakness. That is that they contain the potential to have judges take decisions which should properly be made by democratically elected politicians.”
“There are too many people who imagine that there is something sophisticated about always believing the best of those who hate your country, and the worst of those who defend it.”
More on Security
“We must take care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establishments, in a respectable defensive posture.”
“Our freedom is also incomplete, dear compatriots, as long as we are denied our security by criminals who prey on our communities, who rob our businesses and undermine our economy, who ply their destructive trade in drugs in our schools, and who do violence against our women and children.”
“People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.”
More on Defense
“We won't apologise for our way of life, nor will we weaver in its defence, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken, you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.”
“War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.”
“We shall fight in parking lots, we shall fight in empty fields and on wide streets, we shall never surrender.”
