Quote examples
Donna Brazile
American Politician
In order for President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden to be moderates, they just have to present themselves between the extremes of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's isolationism and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's hawkishness - the difference between living in a cave or conducting ourselves so that we're in need of one.
Quote examples
Harry Markowitz
American Economist
During the 1950s, I decided, as did many others, that many practical problems were beyond analytic solution and that simulation techniques were required. At RAND, I participated in the building of large logistics simulation models; at General Electric, I helped build models of manufacturing plants.
Quote examples
Nancy Gibbs
American Journalist
Rand Paul does not like being compared to his father Ron any more than sons named Bush like to dance in their father's shadow, but the crucial difference is that while the Bushes all hail from the relative mainstream of the GOP, the Pauls have an ideological tributary virtually to themselves.
Quote examples
Sara Shepard
American Author
I know these are going to sound like school reading-list suggestions, but if you like dystopian fiction, you should check out some of the originals: 'Anthem,' by Ayn Rand; '1984,' by George Orwell; or 'Brave New World,' by Aldous Huxley.
Quote examples
Alex Pareene
American Writer
Sen. Rand Paul is a Different Kind of Republican. He will drag the party, kicking and screaming, toward a new kind of conservatism that appeals more to today's youth, who embrace liberty and are skeptical of foreign intervention.

Mollie Hemingway
American Author
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky always does an excellent job of understanding media's false assumptions enough to immediately push back on them.

Ernie Els
South African Golfer
I use a 1994 South African 5 rand coin to mark my ball. It reminds me of my '94 U.S. Open win at Oakmont.
Quote examples
Mark McKinnon
American Businessman
Rand Paul comes off like an academic stiff who wants to give us a lecture on American civics.

Thomas Massie
American Politician
I agree with Sen. Rand Paul on issues more than I do Mitch McConnell.
