I won't say that the papers misquote me, but I sometimes wonder where Christianity would be today if some of those reporters had been Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.

I think any man in business would be foolish to fool around with his secretary. If it's somebody else's secretary, fine.

The income tax created more criminals than any other single act of government.

To disagree, one doesn't have to be disagreeable.

Hubert Humphrey talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning the pages.

I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.

It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

If you don't mind smelling like peanut butter for two or three days, peanut butter is darn good shaving cream.

You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight.

I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.

Nixon was the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life. He lied to his wife, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Congress, lifetime members of his own political party, the American people and the world.

I wouldn't trust Nixon from here to that phone.

The only summit meeting that can succeed is the one that does not take place.

American business has just forgotten the importance of selling.

If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.

I won't say that the papers misquote me, but I sometimes wonder where Christianity would be today if some of those reporters had been Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

Where is the politician who has not promised to fight to the death for lower taxes- and who has not proceeded to vote for the very spending projects that make tax cuts impossible?

When I'm not a politician, I'll be dead.

You don't need to be straight to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight.

Any pilot can describe the mechanics of flying. What it can do for the spirit of man is beyond description.

I certainly believe in aliens in space and that they are indeed visiting our planet. They may not look like us but I have very strong feelings that they have advanced beyond our mental capabilities.

The history of Christianity, therefore, must be of concern to all who are interested in the record of man and particularly to all who seek to understand the contemporary human scene.

Capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell.

Organized Christianity has always represented immortality as a sort of common heritage; but I never could see why spiritual life should not be conditioned on the same terms as all life, i. e., correspondence with environment.

Christianity is a battle not a dream.

Christianity is the greatest civilizing, moulding, uplifting power on this globe.

Western civilization, Christianity, decency are struggling for their very lives. In this worldwide civil war, race prejudice is our most dangerous enemy, for it is a disease at the very root of our democratic life.

It is true that Christianity is not bound up with any particular race or culture. It is neither of the East or of the West, but has a universal mission to the human race as a whole.

Christianity is the root of all democracy, the highest fact in the rights of men.
