These so-called governments are in reality only great bands of robbers and murderers, organized, disciplined, and constantly on the alert.

A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.

Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another.

Those who are capable of tyranny are capable of perjury to sustain it.

Government is in reality established by the few; and these few assume the consent of all the rest, without any such consent being actually given.

You know, my father died of cancer when I was a teenager. He had it before it became popular.

Those who do not believe do not pray. This is a good functional definition of faith. Faith prays, unbelief does not.

Carry always your earplugs with you in case of emergency, like meeting with a politician!

Understanding strengths and weaknesses is very essential in setting forth a clean administration and for sustainable and lasting solutions.

I go to various boot camps 4-5 times a week, and I try to get some Pilates in there to thin and tone.

Motherhood has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has taught me a lot about myself, about the things I'm great at, and the things I need to work on.

I love being a musician. I love the lifestyle. But I think it's probably as difficult and frustrating as anything.
