More quotes by Ron Paul
Each of us should choose which course of action we must take education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes, but let it not be said that we did nothing.
Ron Paul
We get our rights from our Creator as individuals. So every individual should be treated the same way.
Ron Paul
After years spent in Washington, I have become more aware than ever of the government's ineptness and the likelihood of its making mistakes. I no longer trust the U.S. government to invoke and carry out a death sentence under any conditions.
Ron Paul
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.
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
I'm an imperfect messenger, but the message is perfect.
Ron Paul
We don't have the freedom of speech to talk about the weather. We have the first amendment so we can say some very controversial things.
Ron Paul
We must educate ourselves and others about our precious civil liberties to ensure that we never accept demands that we give up our Constitution so that the government can pretend to protect us.
Ron Paul
The federal government cannot maintain a budget surplus any more than an alcoholic can leave a fresh bottle of whiskey untouched in the cupboard.
Ron Paul
If people won't spend any money, the government has this moral obligation to do it.
Ron Paul
If you sacrifice liberty for security, you will lose both.
Ron Paul
There should essentially be no limits to the voluntary definition of marriage.
Ron Paul
Is it any more moral to dilute the value of the purchasing power of the money you hold in your wallet than it is for the farmer to dilute the milk supply with water?
Ron Paul
There's a a right to privacy for all individuals and all who have legal rights - and that includes the unborn. As an obstetrician, if I cause any harm to a fetus, I will be sued. If someone kills or harms a fetus they're liable in a court of law.
Ron Paul
Of course I've already taken a very modest position on the monetary system, I do take the position that we should just end the Fed.
Ron Paul
What we need is a strong defense, but right now there is zero chance of an invasion by another country and right now we have more firepower than all other countries put together.
Ron Paul
Maybe we ought to consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy: Don't do to other nations what we don't want happening to us. We endlessly bomb these countries and then we wonder why they get upset with us?
Ron Paul
Terror is a tactic. We can not wage war against a tactic.
Ron Paul
The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a globe-straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment toward us.
Ron Paul
When it comes to the environment and global warming from emissions, it has to be dealt with in one of two ways - preemptive regulations, which I don't agree with, or with private property principles. Nobody has the right to pollute their neighbors' air or water or land.
Ron Paul
