"I want a political leader who doesn't look out for this class or that class, but looks out for the individual - the smallest minority on this earth."
-Jonathan Hoenig

"Immigration works here because America is not a place, it's an idea. One that anyone can assimilate to. And we have a culture that still values hard work, achievement, and patriotism. And, despite the unceasing enmity and attacks of leftists, America is still mostly Christian, and retains a useful leavening of Judaism."
-John Weidner

"[The] news media consider[s] the phrase "good news" an oxymoron."
-George Will

"Life ain't no rehearsal."
-excerpt from Special Operations, by W.E.B. Griffin

"Envy prevents one from appreciating what one has. It can only attack the person or system believed to possess what one lacks. In this regard, it is the polar opposite of gratitude, which is one of the prerequisites of human happiness."
-Robert Godwin

"Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."
-Adam Smith

"I think we have it very good here, and I think we have a responsibility to treat our country the same way our country treats us."
-Roger Ailes

On Moral Relativism

"Do not move the ancient boundary stone set up by your forefathers."
-Proverbs 22:28

"The crowning achievement of Western civilization is not democracy, as one might suppose–for democracy had been tried in ancient Greece, and later in Rome, with decidedly mixed results: logos alone proved insufficient for rule by the people. It was instead the elevation of the value of the individual and the recognition of the true nature of man: made in God’s image, and therefore capable of great glory and goodness, but fallen, and therefore capable of great evil. This dawning realization and revelation was the gift of the Christianization of Europe, carrying forward to a barbarian land not merely the reason of the Greeks and the moral framework of Judaism (monotheism and the centrality of law in restraining moral errancy), but augmenting it with the Christian emphasis on mercy and forgiveness, redemption and the importance of the individual in God’s design and creation."

"We tend to take our opportunities for granted, but our ancestors could not have imagined what we now have. In the last 100 years, we have created more wealth than in the 100,000 years before that, and not because we work more. To the contrary: In the last century, work hours have been halved in the Western world.
The people we should thank are the innovators and entrepreneurs. [They] are serial problem-solvers who search out inefficiencies and find more practical ways of connecting possible supply with potential demand. In that way, they constantly revolutionize our economy, and have made it possible for average people today to live longer and healthier lives, with more access to technology than the kings had in previous generations."
