Perhaps it is time to be more careful what we ask government to do, and where we allow it to become part of our lives.

More quotes by Rand Paul
Democrats in Louisville were led by Courier-Journal editor Henry Watterson and were implacably opposed to blacks voting.
Rand Paul
If you're white and you're rich in the USA, if you get busted for drugs, you get a good attorney, and you in all likelihood serve no time. But if you're poor, black, Hispanic, or poor and white for that matter, you can get put in jail.
Rand Paul
I think we've made the collection haystack so big, no one's ever getting through the haystack to find the needle. What we really need to do is isolate the haystack into a group of suspicious people and spend enormous resources looking at suspicious people, people who we have probable cause.
Rand Paul
I think those who have wanted regime [of Bashar Assad] change have made a mistake.
Rand Paul
I think Saudi Arabia often finances radical Islam and the teaching of hatred to the West and hatred of Americans. I think it is important that we know that. It's important that we know that there is a threat within and a threat without. I think we can stop it with more aggressive use of actual constitutional tools.
Rand Paul
Washington is horribly broken. We are encountering a day of reckoning and this movement, this Tea Party movement, is a message to Washington that we're unhappy and that we want things done differently.
Rand Paul
I think my dad has helped me tremendously.
Rand Paul
Let me be clear: I support the Civil Rights Act because I overwhelmingly agree with the intent of the legislation, which was to stop discrimination in the public sphere and halt the abhorrent practice of segregation and Jim Crow laws.
Rand Paul
I've been accused of wanting to allow terrorists to have weapons to attack America.
Rand Paul
Foreign aid goes from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.
Rand Paul
Any time you make an analogy to horrific people in history, Mussolini or Hitler, people say, 'Oh, you're exaggerating, you're talking about, it's hyperbole.' Maybe it is. ... But I would say is that if you are not concerned that democracy could produce bad people, I don't think you're really thinking this through too much.
Rand Paul
I'm an internationalist. I want to help others, not just kill terrorists.
Rand Paul
I think that there is a bipartisan consensus that's incorrect that we should have the whole world be in NATO. For example, if we had Ukraine and Georgia in NATO - and this is something McCain and the other neocons have advocated for - we would be at war now because Russia has invaded both of them.
Rand Paul
The GOP of old has grown old and moss covered.
Rand Paul
My goal right now is to actually help Donald Trump. He's the Republican president. He's doing a lot of things that conservatives are for. I'm for. And so my goal is to help Kentucky by repealing regulations that are killing our coal industry. And I think on that, we're very much aligned.
Rand Paul
To me, there is no greater threat than our debt. I'm the only fiscal conservative on the stage because I'm willing to hold the line on all spending.
Rand Paul
The separation of powers is about legislative powers. It isn't about discussion or words.
Rand Paul
I will tell , though, that Donald Trump got 70 percent in eastern Kentucky and I don't think it had anything to do with the Russian. He got 70 percent because in eastern Kentucky we didn't like what President [Barack] Obama or Hillary Clinton wanted to do to our coal jobs. It didn't have anything to do with the Russians.
Rand Paul
We need to be fearful of companies that get so big that they can actually be directing policy.
Rand Paul
We shouldn't be fearful of freedom, we shouldn't be fearful of individual liberty.
Rand Paul
