Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense.

More quotes by Ron Paul
1913 wasn't a very good year. 1913 gave us the income tax, the 16th amendment and the IRS.
Ron Paul
I would say nobody is perfect. I don't know all the answers. I have don't want to run people's lives and run the world and run the economy. So, my qualifications are a little bit different.
Ron Paul
When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.
Ron Paul
When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us, we, in essence, accept that the state owns our bodies.
Ron Paul
We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such.
Ron Paul
Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the 'criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.
Ron Paul
Without question, the true goal of some in Congress is to create a system of socialized medicine. It's politically expedient to slap a patients’ rights label on legislation that simply leads us closer to a complete government takeover of medicine.
Ron Paul
One thing is clear: The Founding Fathers never intended a nation where citizens would pay nearly half of everything they earn to the government.
Ron Paul
If you can’t protect life, then how can you protect liberty?
Ron Paul
The number one responsibility for each of us is to change ourselves with hope that others will follow.
Ron Paul
The freedom message brings us together, it doesn't divide us.
Ron Paul
Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense.
Ron Paul
It is not democracy to send in billions of dollars to push regime change overseas. It isn't democracy to send in the NGOs to re-write laws and the constitution in places like Ukraine. It is none of our business.
Ron Paul
The sad thing is, our foreign policy WILL change eventually, as Rome's did, when all budgetary and monetary tricks to fund it are exhausted.
Ron Paul
We must remember, elections are short-term efforts. Revolutions are long-term projects.
Ron Paul
An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped by any army or any force.
Ron Paul
I have my shortcomings. But the message, it has no shortcomings. The message of Liberty is what America is all about.
Ron Paul
In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.
Ron Paul
Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.
Ron Paul
I'm convinced that you never have to give up liberties to be safe. I think you're less safe when you give up your liberties.
