Government should stay the hell out of people's business.
There's no greater service to this country than the defense of its freedom.
Throughout history, government has proved to be the chief instrument for thwarting man's liberty.
I say further that for this great legislative body to ignore the Constitution and the fundamental concepts of our governmental system is to act in a manner which could ultimately destroy the freedom of all American citizens, including the freedoms of the very persons whose feelings and whose liberties are the major subject of this legislation.
And if I should be accused of neglecting my constituents' interests, I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty, and in that cause I am doing the very best I can.
Extremism in defense of Liberty is no vice
Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed.

I think any man in business would be foolish to fool around with his secretary. If it's somebody else's secretary, fine.
I won't say that the papers misquote me, but I sometimes wonder where Christianity would be today if some of those reporters had been Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The Trilateralist Commission is international...(and)...is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateralist Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power - political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical.
