"Concentrated power has always been the enemy..." - Quote by Ronald Reagan

“No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income.”

“Although I held public office for a total of sixteen years, I also thought of myself as a citizen-politician, not a career one. Every now and then when I was in government, I would remind my associates that "When we start thinking of government as 'us' instead of 'them,' we've been here too long." By that I mean that elected officeholders need to retain a certain skepticism about the perfectibility of government.”

“If not us, who? And if not now, when?”

“How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.”

“Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years.”

“Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.”

“Before all else, be armed.”

“Constant Kindness can accomplish much.”

“Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar?”
