1913 wasn't a very good year. 1913 gave us the income tax, the 16th amendment and the IRS.

The Founding Fathers realized that the power to tax is the power to destroy, which is why they did not give the Federal government the power to impose an income tax. Needless to say, the Founders would be horrified to know that Americans today give more than a third of their income to the Federal government.

How did we win the election in the year 2000? We talked about a humble foreign policy: No nation-building don't police the world. That's conservative, it's Republican, it's pro-American - it follows the founding fathers. And, besides, it follows the Constitution.

When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads.

If you ever can bring about revolutionary changes, two things would be required: young people would have to be involved and you would need music.

Whether [the 1993 World Trade Center bombing] was a setup by the Israeli Mossad, as a Jewish friend of mine suspects, or was truly a retaliation by the Islamic fundamentalists, matters little.
Ron Paul

I have this terrible habit of wanting to try to be consistent and develop a philosophy that's coherent.

I do not have much confidence in the political system and never did. My goal has always been to change people's minds because as long as people demand more government, they will get it.

The freedom message brings us together, it doesn't divide us.
