"A government big enough to give you everything you want
is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."
-
"The Constitution is the bedrock of all our freedoms;
guard and cherish it;
keep honor and order in your own house;
and the republic will endure."
-
"I am acutely aware that you have not elected me
as your president by your ballots,
so I ask you to confirm me with your prayers."
-
"The political lesson of Watergate is this:
Never again must America allow an arrogant,
elite guard of political adolescents
to by-pass the regular party organization
and dictate the terms of a national election."
