“ In just this way, through the years, have America's communities been born, our people employed, our towns and cities grown.
The creativity, confidence, and skills of small business men and women help ensure that America will continue to grow and prosper in freedom and opportunity. ”

“ An essential part of our heritage as Americans is our free enterprise system. America's millions of small business men and women exemplify the freedoms we all have-the freedoms to produce and create wealth as we choose, to earn and save and invest, to make opportunities for ourselves and others. ”

“ Our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness include and presuppose these rights, and our system of limited constitutional government enshrines them and protects them equally for all. We should be extremely grateful to all entrepreneurs for reminding us in their daily lives of the blessings and importance of economic freedom. ”
