“All of us are out there to be servants in the same way that Jesus served the will of the Father. It seemed to me that that’s our goal, and that we’re trying to make an impact but then basically not leave a particularly big wake. You know what I mean? We come in quietly, we go out quietly.”

“If I were president, I would try to be one who says, you know what, I'm a Reagan Conservative. I'm someone who believes in peace through strength, and I would try to lead the country in that way knowing that our goal is peace, and that war is the last resort, not the first resort. And, that when we go to war, we go to war in a constitutional way, which means that we have to vote on it, that war is initiated by congress, not by the president, that we go to war electively (ph). That when we go to war, we don't fight with one arm tied behind our back, we fight all out to win, but then we come home.”

Rand Paul (1963) American politician, ophthalmologist, and United States Senator from Kentucky

It’s not, it’s not going to change anything. We’ll, we’ll get our justice … Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out.
