“My great grandfather, like many, came to this country in search of the American Dream.”

It’s curious that only in Washington can you spend $2 billion and claim that you’re saving money.

America’s not the world’s policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act.

The Constitution was not written to restrain the citizen’s behavior, it was written to restrain the government’s behavior.

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.

I never, ever cheated [in medical school]. I don’t condone cheating. But I would sometimes spread misinformation. This is a great tactic. Misinformation can be very important.

All issues of crime are better addressed at the state level.

No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.

It is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them.

For liberty to expand, government must shrink. For the economy to grow, government must get out of the way.

We shouldn’t be fearful of freedom, we shouldn’t be fearful of individual liberty.

I don’t plan on being bashful.

I’m not in favor of any discrimination of any form.

Fear & complacency allow power to accumulate & liberty & privacy to suffer.

I call myself a constitutional conservative.

We will not cut one penny from the safety net until we’ve cut every penny from corporate welfare.

We should not have drug laws or a court system that disproportionately punishes the black community.

The rate of profit is naturally low in rich and high in poor countries, and it is always highest in the countries which are going fastest to ruin.

Strength & Courage. Peace & Truth. Fertility & Growth. Life in Movement. My country stands for these values.

Every time you play for your country, there is responsibility. But when you are captaining, you can say so; you have to lead from the front and make sure the team follows the direction you want them to.

Maybe the country doesn’t pray for me like they do for Sachin Tendulkar, but I know I’m on a good wicket as well.

Believing that fundamental conditions of the country are sound, my son and I have for some days been purchasing sound common stocks

Skills are called hidden treasure as they save like a mother in a foreign country.

I could weep for a river-valley, and I have. But for a country? Oh man, I don’t know.

I feel that World Cup cricket should be played like football in which all the 160 countries take part. If only a handful of countries are going to keep on playing in the World Cup without making the game popular, I will be a sad man.
