    - Barry M. Goldwater
            
  • Applause, mingled with boos and hisses, is about all that the average voter is able or willing to contribute to public life.
    - Elmer Davis
            
  • The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away.

    - Robert Louis Stevenson
            
  • I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
    - John Burroughs
