“The government cannot love you, and any politics that works on a different assumption is destined for no good.”

“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

“Do you work for the government, any government?”"I pay taxes, which means I work for the government, part of the time. Yes.”

“Most of the energy of political work is devoted to correcting the effects of mismanagement of government.”

“General assumptions often lead to erroneous conclusions, but one cannot go far wrong in always assuming that whatever one's government is saying is a lie.”

“You cannot continue on the same path and arrive at a different destination. Make the choice to have your actions reflect your goals.”
