• Cuando los políticos empiezan a hablar de grandes grupos de sus conciudadanos estadounidenses como "enemigos", es el momento de un tranquilo revuelo de alerta. Polarizar a la gente es una buena forma de ganar unas elecciones, y también una buena forma de destrozar un país.

• Listen to the people who are talking about how to fix what's wrong, not the ones who just work people into a snit over the problems. Listen to the people who have ideas about how to fix things, not the ones who just blame others.

• Así que seguid luchando por la libertad y la justicia, amados, pero no olvidéis divertiros haciéndolo. Señor, que resuene tu risa. Sé escandaloso, ridiculiza a los miedosos, regocíjate en todas las rarezas que la libertad puede producir.

• Margaret Atwood, the Canadian novelist, once asked a group of women at a university why they felt threatened by men. The women said they were afraid of being beaten, raped, or killed by men.

• It's all very well to run around saying regulation is bad, get the government off our backs, etc. Of course our lives are regulated. When you come to a stop sign, you stop; if you want to go fishing, you get a license; if you want to shoot ducks, you can shoot only three ducks. The alternative is dead bodies at the intersections, no fish and no ducks. OK?

• The charm of Ronald Reagan is not just that he kept telling us screwy things, it was that he believed them all. No wonder we trusted him, he never lied to us. ... His stubbornness, even defiance, in the face of facts ('stupid things,' he once called them in a memorable slip) was nothing short of splendid. ... This is the man who proved that ignorance is no handicap to the presidency.

• I am not anti-gun. I'm pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We'd turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don't ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives.

• Aunque es cierto que sólo alrededor del 20% de los trabajadores estadounidenses están sindicados, ese 20% establece las normas generales en materia de salarios, prestaciones y condiciones de trabajo. Si usted gana un salario decente en una empresa no sindicada, se lo debe a los sindicatos. Una cosa que las empresas no hacen es dar dinero de buena gana.
