More quotes by Barry Goldwater
I think some highly secret government UFO investigations are going on that we don't know about--and probably never will unless the Air Force discloses them.
Barry Goldwater
There's no greater service to this country than the defense of its freedom.
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
The Conservative knows that to regard man as part of an undifferentiated mass is to consign him to ultimate slavery.
Barry Goldwater
I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.
Barry Goldwater
American business has just forgotten the importance of selling.
Barry Goldwater
If you don't mind smelling like peanut butter for two or three days, peanut butter is darn good shaving cream.
Barry Goldwater
To insist on strength ... is not war-mongering. It is peace-mongering.
Barry Goldwater
In your heart you know he's right.
Barry Goldwater
To my mind the single essential element on which all discoveries will be dependent is human freedom.
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
I will offer a choice, not an echo.
Barry Goldwater
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
I understand Jacqueline Kennedy has redone the White House in eighteenth-century style. Why, then, I'd fit in perfectly.
Barry Goldwater
Can any of us refute the wisdom of Madison and the other framers? Can anyone look at the carnage in Iran, the bloodshed in Northern Ireland or the bombs bursting in Lebanon and yet question the dangers of injecting religious issues into the affairs of state?
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
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
I won't say that the papers misquote me, but I sometimes wonder where Christianity would be today if some of those reporters had been Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
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.
