It's not government's business what people do in their private bedrooms.

The liberal ideal is that everyone should have fair access and fair opportunity. This is not equality of result. It's equality of opportunity. There's a fundamental difference.

From Robert Reich

The silent majority really is a liberal majority, even though the word liberal has taken a real beating over the last 20 years by radical conservatives.

From Robert Reich

Liberals are concerned about the concentration of wealth because it almost inevitably leads to a concentration of power that undermines democracy.

From Robert Reich

Our moral authority is as important, if not more important, than our troop strength or our high-tech weapons. We are rapidly losing that moral authority, not only in the Arab world but all over the world.

From Robert Reich

A lot of attention has been going to social values - abortion, gay rights, other divisive issues - but economic values are equally important.

From Robert Reich

I wish it were simply a nightmare, but I think that any reasonable person watching American politics would come to the conclusion that a second Bush administration would in fact incorporate a more radicalized version of what we've seen in the first administration.

From Robert Reich

We do not want to live in a theocracy. We should maintain that barrier and government has no business telling someone what they ought to believe or how they should conduct their private lives.

From Robert Reich

We never used to blink at taking a leadership role in the world. And we understood leadership often required something other than drones and bombs. We accepted global leadership not just for humanitarian reasons, but also because it was in our own best interest. We knew we couldn't isolate ourselves from trouble. There was no place to hide.

From Robert Reich

Media outlets that are exploiting Ebola because they want a sensational story and politicians using it to their own ends ought to be ashamed.
