On his opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home." - James Madison
On his insistence that people own their bodies and government has no authority to dictate what they ingest:
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
On a foreign policy focused on peace and The Golden Rule:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." - Jesus Christ
On natural rights and civil liberties:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - The Declaration of Independence
