Quote

Throughout the 20th century, the Republican Party benefited from a non-interventionist foreign policy. Think of how Eisenhower came in to stop the Korean War. Think of how Nixon was elected to stop the mess in Vietnam.

Your money has never been safe in the government's hands, and it never will be. Governments spend money it's just their nature.
Ron Paul
Image
The problem is that democracy is not freedom. Democracy is simply majoritarianism, which is inherently incompatible with real freedom. Our founding fathers clearly understood this.
Ron Paul
Image
The Congress should not be creating money out of thin air, which is what Lincoln did when he created greenbacks. But it is a congressional responsibility to maintain gold and silver as a legal tender.
Ron Paul
Image
If you sacrifice liberty for security, you will lose both.
Ron Paul
Image
All branches of our government today are controlled by individuals who use their power to undermine liberty and enhance the welfare/warfare state-and frequently their own wealth and power.
Ron Paul
Image
Everyone assumes America must play the leading role in crafting some settlement or compromise between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But Jefferson, Madison, and Washington explicitly warned against involving ourselves in foreign conflicts.
Ron Paul
Image
The Fourth Amendment is clear we should be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, and all warrants must have probable cause. Today the government operates largely in secret, while seeking to know everything about our private lives - without probable cause and without a warrant.
Ron Paul
Image
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
Image
If we are not even free anymore to decide something as basic as what we wish to eat or drink, how much freedom do we really have left?
Ron Paul
Image
We need to take away the government's money power. The banking industry needs its welfare check ended. The dollar's soundness depends on its being untied from the machine that can make an infinite number of copies of dollars and reduce their value to zero.
Ron Paul
Image
Have you noticed the debt is exploding? And it's not all because of Medicare.
Ron Paul
Image
Terror is a tactic. We can not wage war against a tactic.
Ron Paul
Image
Who's married and who isn't married. I have my standards but I shouldn't have to impose my standards on others. Other people have their standards and they have no right to impose their marriage standards on me.
Ron Paul
Image
Our Constitution, which was intended to limit government power and abuse, has failed.
Ron Paul
Image
The cost in terms of liberties lost and the unnecessary exposure to terrorism are difficult to determine, but in time it will become apparent to all of us that foreign interventionism is of no benefit to American citizens, but is instead a threat to our liberties.
Ron Paul
Image
During the last campaign I knew what was happening. You know, they mocked me for my foreign policy and they laughed at my monetary policy. No more. No more.
Ron Paul

An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped by any army or any force.
Ron Paul
Image
Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action.
Ron Paul
Image
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.

Close Dept. of Education, but don't dismantle public schools.
