Ooo. It's been a long time since I've collected quotes. But here's some I've stashed away, haha:

-Barry Goldwater

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
-James Madison

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
-Ronald Reagan

A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.

All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.
-John Adams

Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.
-Ronald Reagan

If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower

Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.
-James Madison

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
-James Madison

No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.
-James Madison
