Still works for me.
11 quotes that still matter 50 years later
"No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income."
"I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers."
"This is the issue ...: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves."
"You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between left or right. Well, I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There’s only an up or down."
"I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as 'the masses.'"
"Was Barry Goldwater so irresponsible when he suggested that our government give up its program of deliberate, planned inflation, so that when you do get your Social Security pension, a dollar will buy a dollar's worth, and not 45 cents worth?"
"No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. So government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth."
"Every businessman has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment."
"Perhaps there is a simple answer -- not an easy answer -- but simple: If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based on what we know in our hearts is morally right."
"You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, 'There is a price we will not pay.' There is a point beyond which they must not advance. And this -- this is the meaning in the phrase ... 'peace through strength.'"
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny."
