Barry Goldwater
Unlimited campaign spending eats at the heart of the democratic process.
Barry Goldwater
To my mind the single essential element on which all discoveries will be dependent is human freedom.

I say further that for this great legislative body to ignore the Constitution and the fundamental concepts of our governmental system is to act in a manner which could ultimately destroy the freedom of all American citizens, including the freedoms of the very persons whose feelings and whose liberties are the major subject of this legislation.
Barry Goldwater

Barry Goldwater
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size.
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
The best thing Clinton could do — I think I wrote him a letter about this, but I'm not sure — is to shut up. Every time I turn that radio on, there's Clinton, making a speech. And he makes speeches on a subject he doesn't know anything about. He has no discipline.
Barry Goldwater
Forced integration is just as wrong as forced segregation.
Barry Goldwater
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
Barry Goldwater
I thought of something my old coach at Staunton had often said: 'We win some, we lose some, and some get rained out but we always suit up.'
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.
