My philosophy in life is this: if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.

I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.

Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.

If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

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

Historical grammar is a study of how, say, modern English developed from Middle English, and how that developed from Early and Old English, and how that developed from Germanic, and that developed from what’s called Proto-Indo-European, a source system that nobody speaks, so you have to try to reconstruct it.

How do you expect the Germans to revolt when they don’t even dare walk on the grass?

I believe that President Trump of the United States does not need any advice because one has to possess certain talent and go through this trial to be elected, even without having the experience of such big administrative work. He has done this.

That is what I have always understood to be the essence of anarchism: the conviction that the burden of proof has to be placed on authority, and that it should be dismantled if that burden cannot be met.

Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it’s from Neptune.

A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking.- Joseph Stalin

By the autumn of this year, additional measures should be introduced which will stabilize the situation on the market.

The ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage.

There’s plenty to criticize about the mass media, but they are the source of regular information about a wide range of topics. You can’t duplicate that on blogs.

The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.

The real mass media are basically trying to divert people. Let them do something else, but don’t bother us (us being the people who run the show)…Let everybody be crazed about professional sports or sex scandals or the personalities and their problems or something like that.

The masses go into a revolution not with a prepared plan of social reconstruction, but with a sharp feeling that they cannot endure the old regime. Only the guiding layers of a class have a political program, and even this still requires the test of events and the approval of the masses.

As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise human science is at a loss.

Secretary Powell and I agree on every single issue that has ever been before this administration except for those instances where Colin’s still learning.

We don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone. Freedom is like that. It’s like air. When you have it, you don’t notice it.
