“Better to starve free than be a fat slave”

“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”

“Do not let anyone claim tribute of American patriotism if they even attempt to remove religion from politics.”

“The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.”

“Great determination can overcome most odds.”

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

“We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.”
