American business has just forgotten the importance of selling.
Barry Goldwater
Whether in families or in politics, a good observation: One can disagree without being disagreeable.
Barry Goldwater
I say that when you elect a president you want a man to manage the legitimate business of your government. The government that is big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take it away.
Barry Goldwater
It's political Daddyism and it's as old as demagogues and despotism.
Barry Goldwater
Once upon a time our traditional goal in war and can anyone doubt that we are at war? - was victory. Once upon a time we were proud of our strength, our military power. Now we seem ashamed of it. Once upon a time the rest of the world looked to us for leadership. Now they look to us for a quick handout and a fence-straddling international posture.
Barry Goldwater
You don't have to be straight to be in the military you just have to be able to shoot straight.

Barry Goldwater
Women are hard enough to handle now without giving them a gun!

Today neither of our two parties maintains a meaningful commitment to the principle of States' Rights. The 10th Amendment is not a 'general assumption' but a rule of law. States rights mean that states have a right to act or not to act, as they see fit, in areas reserved to them.
Barry Goldwater
I've always said I have nothing against a woman doing anything a man can do as long as she gets home in time to cook dinner.
Barry Goldwater
I certainly believe in aliens in space, and that they are indeed visiting our planet. They may not look like us, but I have very strong feelings that they have advanced beyond our mental capabilities.
Barry Goldwater
When white and black and brown and every other color decide they're going to live together as Christians, then and only then are we going to see an end to these troubles.
Barry Goldwater
Sex and politics are a lot alike. You don't have to be good at them to enjoy them.
Barry Goldwater
We now have a president who tries to save money by turning off lights in the White House, even as he heads toward a staggering addition to the national debt. L.B.J. should stand for Light Bulb Johnson.
Barry Goldwater
I have characterized Nixon as a loner, a cold man with great self-confidence and a one-track mind centered on the advancement of Richard Nixon.
Barry Goldwater
The only summit meeting that can succeed is one that does not take place.

The Conservative knows that to regard man as part of an undifferentiated mass is to consign him to ultimate slavery.
