Truth is treason in the empire of lies.

It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking.

When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads.

I stand for anti-bigotry, anti-Semitism, and anti-racism.

In the middle of a recession, where we’re just climbing out of it, where the economy -unemployment is still at 9.7 percent, the idea of raising taxes and reducing spending is a prescription for disaster.

Mark Twain has wonderful anti-imperialist essays. But you don’t find reference to them. I think the first general publication of them was in a book, Mark Twain’s Weapons of Satire, edited by Jim Zwick about 10 years ago.

Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.

Work continuously to trim the White House staff from your first day to your last. All the pressures are to the contrary.

Whenever the cause of the people is entrusted to professors, it is lost.

[on Donald Trump] seems determined to add to the dangers [in the global situation] by recklessly escalating the confrontation with North Korea, unilaterally launching missile strikes on Syria, opposing President Obama’s nuclear arms deal with Iran and backing a new nuclear arms race.

There were no strategic mistakes that could affect Russia’s history and it further development. No, there were no such mistakes. Tactical errors were made in some less significant options, problems and so on. But, on the whole, Russia embarked on a correct path and it changed.

If we were left solely to the wordy wit of legislators in Congress for our guidance, uncorrected by the seasonal experience and the effectual complaints of the people, America would not long retain her rank among the nations.
