"We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry. We must condemn those who seek to divide us. In all quarters and at all times, we must teach tolerance and denounce racism, anti-Semitism and all ethnic or religious bigotry wherever they exist as unacceptable evils. We have no place for haters in America -- none, whatsoever."

"Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God."
"There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit."
"Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem. ... Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it. ... The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much."
"The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things."
"A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation."
