— Ron Paul
“If you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant. Personal liberty is the purpose of government, to protect liberty - not to run your personal life, not to run the economy, and not to pretend that we can tell the world how they ought to live.”

— 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

— Ron Paul
“When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads.”

— Ron Paul
“Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.”
— Ron Paul
“There is nothing wrong with describing Conservatism as protecting the Constitution, protecting all things that limit government. Government is the enemy of liberty. Government should be very restrained.”
— Ron Paul

— Ron Paul

— Ron Paul
