William F. Buckley Jr. (1925-2008)
Rest With God 
"There is an inverse relationship between reliance on the state and self-reliance."
"I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University."
"I would like to electrocute everyone who uses the word "fair" in connection with income tax policies"
"Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views."
"Back in the thirties we were told we must collectivize the nation because the people were so poor. Now we are told we must collectivize the nation because the people are so rich."
"I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said."
"I get satisfaction of three kinds. One is creating something, one is being paid for it and one is the feeling that I haven't just been sitting on my ass all afternoon."
"We are so concerned to flatter the majority that we lose sight of how very often it is necessary, in order to preserve freedom for the minority, let alone for the individual, to face that majority down."
