There 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.

I think I shall return to America even a better patriot than when I left it. A citizen of the United States, travelling on the continent of Europe, finds the contrast between a government of power and a government of opinion forced upon him at every step.

The sovereignty of one's self over one's self is called Liberty.

I think of America not so much as a single country but as a constellation of groups out there competing for air time, energetically expressing themselves and luxuriating in their right to govern themselves. Freedom is that great vaunted word that's always applied to our country - and rightly so.

I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.

I think of myself as a plain human being who happens to be an American.

I don't like government, it's just that simple.

That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.
