Just think of what Woodrow Wilson stood for: he stood for world government. He wanted an early United Nations, League of Nations. But it was the conservatives, Republicans, that stood up against him. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I think my degrees in Theology and Psychology qualified me for nothing, but probably prepared me for everything. ~ Brooke Bida
Ron Paul quotes by Brooke Bida
The theory of the IRS is rather repugnant to me because the assumption is made that I, the government, owns 100% of your income and I permit you to keep 5%, 10% or 20%. You're vulnerable, you've sold out. The government can take 80% if they want, which they did at one time. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Those individuals who refuse to join in the lies supporting the war are condemned as being unpatriotic, ill-informed, or friends of the enemy. If the propaganda doesn't silence them and they are seen as a sufficient threat to the war machine, the government will enact laws granting power to arrest and punish those refusing to succumb to the propaganda. This will be done not only to punish the direct targets. It will also be done to frighten others who may be considering boldly challenging the authoritarians supporting a war that will only benefit the special interests. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Nothing good can come from the Federal Reserve. It is the biggest taxer of them all. Diluting the value of the dollar by increasing its supply is a vicious, sinister tax on the poor and middle class. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Having federal officials, whether judges, bureaucrats, or congressmen, impose a new definition of marriage on the people is an act of social engineering profoundly hostile to liberty. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Close Dept. of Education, but don't dismantle public schools. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
If you're really serious about protecting people's incomes, you've got to consider how you're going to protect the dollar. If you don't have the dollar maintaining its value, no matter where you put the money you're not going to have any value. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Why does the U.S. care which flag will be hoisted on a small piece of land thousands of miles away? ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Whether [the 1993 World Trade Center bombing] was a setup by the Israeli Mossad, as a Jewish friend of mine suspects, or was truly a retaliation by the Islamic fundamentalists, matters little. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
First reason is, it's not authorized in the Constitution, it's an illegal institution. The second reason, it's an immoral institution, because we have delivered to a secretive body the privilege of creating money out of thin air; if you or I did it, we'd be called counterfeiters, so why have we legalized counterfeiting? But the economic reasons are overwhelming: the Federal Reserve is the creature that destroys value. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I will always vote what I have promised, and always vote the Constitution, as well as I will not vote for one single penny that isn't paid for, because debt is the monster, debt is what's going to eat us up and that is why our economy is on the brink. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I am not Dr. Ron Paul. I am not Dr. Ron Paul, Jr. I am not Dr. Ron Paul Lite. ~ Randy Weber
Ron Paul quotes by Randy Weber
The ultimate goal of the anti-religious elites is to transform America into a completely secular nation, a nation that is legally and culturally biased against Christianity. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
There should essentially be no limits to the voluntary definition of marriage. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
The Republican Party under Genghis Bush did the devil's work. Bar the sainted Ron Paul, not a dog of a Republican lifted his leg in protest of the unjust war on Iraq. ~ Ilana Mercer
Ron Paul quotes by Ilana Mercer
De Tocqueville admired the extreme skill with which the inhabitants of the United States succeed in proposing a common object to the exertions of a great many men, and in getting them voluntarily to pursue it. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Contrary to the claims of the supporters of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the sponsors of H.Res. 676, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not improve race relations or enhance freedom. Instead, the forced integration dictated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased racial tensions while diminishing individual liberty. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I would like to restore your right to drink raw milk anytime you like. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
My indirect exposure to war for most of my life constantly pushed me toward seeking, and becoming comfortable with, a pro-peace philosophy, as well as refusing to be intimidated by the false charges that such a position is unpatriotic, un-American, and expresses a lack of concern for military personnel. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
If you give up on your principles I don't think that's being pragmatic ... Doing the wrong thing, even partially, isn't being practical ... if you have the right ideas and are forceful enough ... I think you can get the support you need. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
We're bankrupting our country and we have an empire that we're trying to defend which costs us $1 trillion a year. And the standard of living is going down today. It's going down and the middle class is hurting because of the monetary policy. When you destroy a currency, the middle class gets wiped out. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Terror is a tactic. We can not wage "war" against a tactic. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I'm worried that the government might kill Edward Snowden with a drone.
Ron Paul ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
My message is simple - freedom works a lot better than the authoritarian style of government. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Unfortunately, the greater the humanitarian outreach, the greater the violence required to achieve it. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
If you care about your personal liberty, you'll be cautious when you feel comfortable, blame all the illegal immigrants for everything. What you need to do is attack their benefits: no free education, no free subsidies, no citizenship, no birthright citizenship. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Our goals can only be achieved with a society that respects and equally protects the rights of every human being, old and young, rich and poor, regardless of gender, color, race, or creed. We must reject the initiation of violence by individuals or government as morally repugnant. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
The system that existed in Germany at that time tragically prevented the people from protecting themselves from tyrannical government. This is a system many people vehemently want to impose in America. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
You have to remember, rights don't come in groups we shouldn't have 'gay rights'; rights come as individuals, and we wouldn't have this major debate going on. It would be behavior that would count, not what person belongs to what group. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
We can achieve much more in peace than we can ever achieve in these needless, unconstitutional, undeclared wars. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I don't want to run your life, I don't know how to run your life, I don't have the authority to run your life, and the Constitution doesn't permit me to run your life. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
The catch-all phrase "the war on terrorism", in all honesty, has no more meaning than if one wants to wage a war against "criminal gangsterism". Terrorism is a tactic. You can't have a war against a tactic. It's deliberately vague and non-definable in order to justify and permit perpetual war anywhere and under any circumstance. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
You can at least let sick people have marijuana because it's helpful. But the compassionate conservatives say, well we can't do this, we're going to put people who are sick and dying with cancer and are being helped with marijuana if they have multiple sclerosis - the federal government is going in there and overriding state laws and putting people like that in prison. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
In the end, there is no substitute for clear thinking, logic, and common sense.... A better path to enlightenment involves reading and thinking for yourself. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by 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
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Is tragic to see the wounded being used as political props. This must be done to satisfy the subconscious guilt of those who supported the war and are morally responsible for all the suffering. Without this, the promoters and instigators of aggressive wars would experience the guilt that would come with facing the truth. Few ever admit their errors in judgment nor lament their actions that brought death, destruction, and heartache. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
If somebody's in prison for non-violence, drug usage, and never committed a hard crime, they should be pardoned and let out. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I lean toward a flat tax. But I want to make it real flat, like ZERO. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by 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
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
For the same reason a disease cannot be cured by more of the germ that caused it, the inflation and debt accumulation of the Obama years will not inflate our way out of it. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
The Congress should not be creating money out of thin air, which is what Lincoln did when he created greenbacks. But it is a congressional responsibility to maintain gold and silver as a legal tender. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
We are talking about an awesome power. It is the power to weave illusions that appear real as long as they last. That is the very core of the Fed's power. Of course not everyone is instinctively against this illusion-weaving power, and many even welcome it. Tragically, the innocent who understand little about the complexity of the monetary system suffer the most, while those who are in the know reap great profit whether the market is going up or down. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I like Mitt Romney as a person. I think he's a dignified person. But I have no common ground on economics. He doesn't worry about the Federal Reserve. He doesn't worry about foreign policy. He doesn't talk about civil liberties, so I would have a hard time to expect him to ever invite me to campaign with him. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
We also have to consider the many different kinds of rape we have learned about over the past few years as conservative politicians blunder through trying to explain their stances on sexual violence and abortion.

For instance, Indiana treasurer Richard Mourdock, running for the US Senate in 2012, said, in a debate, "I struggled with it myself for a long time, and I realized that life is a gift from God, and I think even when life begins int hat horrible situation of rape, that is something God intended to happen." I've been obsessing over these words, and trying to understand how someone who purports to believe in God can also believe that anything born of rape is God-intended. Just as there are many different kinds of rape, there are many different kinds of God. I am also reminded that women, more often than not, are the recipient of God's intentions and must also bear the burdens of these intentions.

Mourdock is certainly not alone in offering up opinions about rape. Former Missouri representative Todd Akin believes in "legitimate rape" and the oxymoronic "forcible rape," not to be confused with all that illegitimate rape going on. Ron Paul believes in the existence of "honest rape," but turns a blind eye to the dishonest rapes out there. Former Wisconsin State representative Roger Rivard believes some girls, "they rape so easy." Lest you think these new definitions of rape are only the purview of men, failed Senate candidate Linda McMahon of Connect ~ Roxane Gay
Ron Paul quotes by Roxane Gay
The Federal Reserve System is nothing more than legalized counterfeit. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Even if you don't like guns and don't want to own them, you benefit from those who do. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Public opinion is a powerful tool, if not the ultimate tool, for changing policies of the seemingly omnipotent political leaders. The greatest danger is an apathy that allows for evil to thrive when bad people rule over us and provoke nationalistic and patriotic fervor that intimidates many into compliance. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
You don't quit because you happen to be behind. You want to see how you do. And who knows? Maybe somebody will stumble. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Every country ended slavery without civil war; US could have. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Katha Pollitt wrote in The Nation, "Ron Paul has opposed almost every piece of progressive legislation that was passed in the last 200 years! He opposed Federal Deposit Insurance and continues to oppose Roe v. Wade. He would abolish the Environmental Protection Agency, governmental regulations on health and safety (OSHA), and the Federal Aviation Authority. ~ Georgia Kelly
Ron Paul quotes by Georgia Kelly
One thing is certain: those who worked and voted for less government, the very foot soldiers in the conservative revolution, have been deceived. Today, the ideal of limited government has been abandoned by the GOP, and real conservatives find their views no longer matter. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
As long as we live beyond our means, we are destined to live beneath our means. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
They've been taught by too many that this war was necessary when it isn't. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
General welfare is a general condition - maybe sound currency is general welfare, maybe markets, maybe judicial system, maybe a national defense, but this is specific welfare. This justifies the whole welfare state - the military industrial complex, the welfare to foreigners, the welfare state that imprisons our people and impoverishes our people and gives us our recession. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I take my marching orders from the Constitution. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
If you can't protect life, then how can you protect liberty? ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
In a free society we're supposed to know the truth.. In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.. This is media, isn't it? I mean, why don't we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this? ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Because federal hate-crime laws criminalize thoughts, they are incompatible with a free society. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Rights mean you have a right to your life. You have a right to your liberty, and you should have a right to keep the fruits of your labor ... I, in a way, don't like to use those terms: gay rights, women's rights, minority rights, religious rights. There's only one type of right. It's the right to your liberty. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
But the war proponents tried desperately to continue the glorification of war by praising anyone who had been sent off to war or even just put on a uniform. Troops and veterans were placed on pedestals as great heroes - warriors who had saved us from some imagined modern-day Hitler. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
If we stuck to the Constitution as written, we would have: no federal meddling in our schools; no Federal Reserve; no U.S. membership in the UN; no gun control; and no foreign aid. We would have no welfare for big corporations, or the "poor"; no American troops in 100 foreign countries; no NAFTA, GAT, or "fast-track"; no arrogant federal judges usurping states rights; no attacks on private property; no income tax. We could get rid of most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
It is a dangerous notion that we need a government to protect us from ourselves. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
The true patriot is motivated by a sense of responsibility and out of self interest for himself, his family, and the future of his country to resist government abuse of power. He rejects the notion that patriotism means obedience to the state. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Who's married and who isn't married. I have my standards but I shouldn't have to impose my standards on others. Other people have their standards and they have no right to impose their marriage standards on me. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
What the Republican National Committee did to Ron Paul was the height of rudeness and stupidity for this reason: Why would you alienate an individual who has the ability to attract a new generation of voters, who are already skeptical of your institution but are willing to at least listen through the vehicle of this individual and the words that he is saying? Why would you alienate them, get on the floor and not let them speak? Not have his name go up on the board and see the number of electoral votes that he receives? This is crazy! ~ Michael Steele
Ron Paul quotes by Michael Steele
All branches of our government today are controlled by individuals who use their power to undermine liberty and enhance the welfare/warfare state-and frequently their own wealth and power, ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Rubio's sudden concern for the humanitarian situation in Venezuela smacks of hypocrisy, as he supported all US sanctions that have made life for Venezuelans miserable. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Unlike Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, I never voted to provide taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
There is only one kind of freedom and that's individual liberty. Our lives come from our creator and our liberty comes from our creator. It has nothing to do with government granting it. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I have come to one firm conviction after these many years of trying to figure out the plain truth of things. The best chance for achieving peace and prosperity, for the maximum number of people worldwide, is to pursue the cause of liberty. If you find this to be a worthwhile message, spread it throughout the land. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I have this terrible habit of wanting to try to be consistent and develop a philosophy that's coherent. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Well, I don't think we should go to the moon. I think we maybe should send some politicians up there. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Some members of Congress will claim that the federal government needs the power to monitor Americans in order to allow the government to operate more efficiently. I would remind my colleagues that, in a constitutional republic, the people are never asked to sacrifice their liberties to make the jobs of government officials easier. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Denial is not a solution. Governments naturally lie to maintain power. Eventually the deception perpetrated is believed by the government officials themselves. This encourages them to continue a failed policy until it's too late. Ego plays a large part in it as well. It's highly likely that our policy of foreign intervention will not be reversed and that world chaos will result as a new world order sets in - and it won't be the New World Order that interventionists have promoted for so many years. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
We need to get the government out of the way. Inflation hits the middle class and the poor the most. Those are the people who are losing it. We don't have enough competition. There's a doctor monopoly out there. We need alternative health care freely available to the people. They ought to be able to make their own choices and not controlled by the FDA preventing them to use some of the medications. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
We need to take away the government's money power. The banking industry needs its welfare check ended. The dollar's soundness depends on its being untied from the machine that can make an infinite number of copies of dollars and reduce their value to zero. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
One thing is clear: The Founding Fathers never intended a nation where citizens would pay nearly half of everything they earn to the government. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
There is but one special interest that we should be working for, and that would solve just about all of our problems, and that is our liberty. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Why is it that some people, you know, think we should obey the Constitution sometimes and not other times. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Sexually-transmitted diseases is caused by sexual activity and promiscuity it spreads diseases. That's been known, you know, about 400 or 500 years, that somehow these diseases are spread. If fault comes with people because of their personal behavior but it isn't to be placed on a burden on other people, innocent people, why should they have to pay for the consequences? ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
If you sacrifice liberty for security, you will lose both. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Al-Awlaki was born here, he is an American citizen. He was never tried or charged for any crimes. No one knows if he killed anybody. We know he might have been associated with the underwear bomber. But if the American people accept this blindly and casually that we now have an accepted practice of the president assassinating people who he thinks are bad guys, I think it's sad. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
I'm an imperfect messenger, but the message is perfect. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
For those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
And yet even among the friends of liberty, many people are deceived into believing that government can make them safe from all harm, provide fairly distributed economic security, and improve individual moral behavior. If the government is granted a monopoly on the use of force to achieve these goals, history shows that power is always abused. Every single time. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
We must remember, elections are short-term efforts. Revolutions are long-term projects. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
A citizen walking through the airport today is bombarded with 1984-style propaganda messages that are designed to make us fear some amorphous threat and also be suspicious of others. The government designs these messages to make us feel dependent and heavily lorded over in every aspect of our lives. These messages are becoming ever more pervasive, hitting us even in grocery stores when we are shopping. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
While President Obama was starting and expanding unconstitutiona l wars overseas, Bradley Manning, whose actions have caused exactly zero deaths, was shining light on the truth behind these wars. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
We get our rights from our Creator as individuals. So every individual should be treated the same way. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
Years ago, a member of Congress slipped a laminated quote into my hand that he must have thought I would find meaningful. I paid little attention at first and unfortunately I don't recall just who gave me the quote. I placed it next to my voting card and have carried it ever since. The quote came from Elie Wiesel's book One Generation After. The quote was entitled "Why I Protest."

Author Elie Wiesel tells the story of the one righteous man of Sodom, who walked the streets protesting against the injustice of this city. People made fun of him, derided him. Finally, a young person asked: "Why do you continue your protest against evil; can't you see no one is paying attention to you?" He answered, "I'll tell you why I continue. In the beginning, I thought I would change people. Today, I know I cannot. Yet, if I continue my protest, at least I will prevent others from changing me."

I'm not that pessimistic that we can't change people's beliefs or that people will not respond to the message of liberty and peace. But we must always be on guard not to let others change us once we gain the confidence that we are on the right track in the search for truth. ~ Ron Paul
Ron Paul quotes by Ron Paul
It is dissent from government policies which defines the true Patriot ~ Ron Paul
