More quotes by Barry Goldwater
It's political Daddyism and it's as old as demagogues and despotism.
Barry Goldwater
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
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
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size.
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
After one of his [Hubert Humphrey] long-winded harangues I suggested he had probably been vaccinated with a phonograph needle. He responded by saying that I would have been a great success in the movies working for Eighteenth Century-Fox.

If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.

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
Unlimited campaign spending eats at the heart of the democratic process.
Barry Goldwater
Having spent 37 years of my life in the military as a reservist, and never having met a gay in all of that time, and never having even talked about it in all those years, I just thought, why the hell shouldn't they serve? They're American citizens. As long as they're not doing things that are harmful to anyone else... So I came out for it.
Barry Goldwater
Women are hard enough to handle now without giving them a gun!
Barry Goldwater
Politics [is] the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for individuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order.
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
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
Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar.
Barry Goldwater
There's no greater service to this country than the defense of its freedom.
Barry Goldwater
While I am a great believer in the free enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment.
Barry Goldwater
The Conservative knows that to regard man as part of an undifferentiated mass is to consign him to ultimate slavery.
Barry Goldwater
The president, who finds so much to complain about in other areas of the world, apparently saw nothing wrong in recognizing a Communist regime that has killed more people in its short history of control over the teeming millions of that great country than any other collection of dictators or tyrants in the history of the world.
Barry Goldwater
Without the National Federation of Republican Women, there would be no Republican Party.
