The only summit meeting that can succeed is one that does not take place.
Barry Goldwater
Whether in families or in politics, a good observation: One can disagree without being disagreeable.
Barry Goldwater
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
Without the National Federation of Republican Women, there would be no Republican Party.
Barry Goldwater
I am frankly sick and tired of the political preachers telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in A, B, C, and D. Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?
Barry Goldwater
Religious factions will go on imposing their will on others unless the decent people connected to them recognize that religion has no place in public policy. They must learn to make their views known without trying to make their views the only alternatives.

There's no greater service to this country than the defense of its freedom.
Barry Goldwater

Barry Goldwater
If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.
Barry Goldwater
Forced integration is just as wrong as forced segregation.
Barry Goldwater
I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws but to repeal them.
Barry Goldwater
In your heart you know he's right.
Barry Goldwater
I have the unmitigated gall to think that I could lead men anywhere, business, politics or combat.
Barry Goldwater
It is true that I was denied access to a facility at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, because I never got in. I can't tell you what was inside. We both know about the rumors concerning a captured UFO and crew members. I have never seen what I would call a UFO, but I have intelligent friends who have.
Barry Goldwater
We Americans understand freedom we have earned it, we have lived for it, and we have died for it. This nation and its people are freedom's models in a searching world. We can be freedom's missionaries in a doubting world. The genius of the American system is that through freedom we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Barry Goldwater
And here we encounter the seeds of government disaster and collapse - the kind that wrecked ancient Rome and every other civilization that allowed a sociopolitical monster called the welfare state to exist.
Barry Goldwater
Politics [is] the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for individuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order.

Unlimited campaign spending eats at the heart of the democratic process.
