"You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans."	Food
"You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism."	Politics
"We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?"	Government

"The greatness of our country has been based on our thinking that everyone has a right even to be wrong."	America

"The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution."	Government
"The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.'"	Miscellaneous
"The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away."	Business, Government

"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."	Politics
