01UndatedRights 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 / quote ↗

12UndatedReal patriotism is a willingness to challenge the government when it's wrong.Ron Paul / quote ↗
13UndatedIf you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant.

14UndatedThere 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 / quote ↗
