No power on earth is greater than a mind and soul reawakened. Our Constitution begins 'we the people', not 'us the government'.

The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man.

Sometimes people need a kick in the pants to get them to do what they would be doing if government weren't there as a perpetual parent.

In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it.

Government has a legitimate function, but the private sector has one too, and it is superior. In other words, people are better than institutions.

The construction applied ... to those parts of the Constitution of the United States which delegate Congress a power ... ought not to be construed as themselves to give unlimited powers, nor a part to be so taken as to destroy the whole residue of that instrument.
