I will never retire from politics, the revolution, or the ideas I have.

Marriage is scary to me, man.

No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.

Better a broken promise than none at all.

I love being in the United States Senate.

I can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imagine what the country would be – with Donald Trump as our president.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

I reject the cynical view that politics is a dirty business.

Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.

We give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

The British constitution has always been puzzling and always will be.

So people are talking about revolution. What a revolution it would be to have a woman president.

There’s no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other’s speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.

Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.

The most important of all revolutions, a revolution in sentiments, manners and moral opinions.

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer ‚Present‘ or ‚Not guilty.‘

I think our politicians could learn a lot from Mandela.

No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary – not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn’t want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.

Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.

My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.

Politically, the world is so confused right now – there’s so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

The Trump phenomenon is in large part a reaction of Middle America to attacks on its values by intellectual and academic communities. There are other reasons, but this is a significant one.

No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Nobody is above the law. Imagine if there allegations against Modi and he is the Prime Minister. Should the case not be pursued just because he has become the PM. It should not be so that it should be stopped. I am not above the law.

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

We have the best government that money can buy.

I think governments can’t do much.

The English have all the material requisites for the revolution. What they lack is the spirit of generalization and revolutionary ardour.

I think that if I would talk on a political subject, if I talk about it, it would divide the audience on that issue. That’s not my issue.

Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night’s date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn’t think of looking at another woman.

Mad or glad, Mr. Reagan is head over heels in love with Mrs. Reagan and can’t even imagine a world without her – He loves her.

Senator McCain is Israel’s most unconditional ally in Mossad’s machinations, something that even his worst adversaries would have been able to imagine. McCain participated alongside this secret service in the creation of the Islamic State, which has appropriated a considerable part of Iraq as well as a third of Syria, according to its affirmations.

About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.

The real power of the Buddha was that he had so much love. He saw people trapped in their notions of small separate self, feeling guilty or proud of that self, and he offered revolutionary teachings that resounded like a lion’s roar, like a great rising tide, helping people to wake up and break free from the prison of ignorance.

I have an immense amount of respect for acting. I’ve always loved movies and was always fascinated by movie-making. But to become an actor, I wanted to commit myself.

We can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country.

I believed what my father taught me about the separation of church and state, so when I was President I never invited Billy Graham to have services in the White House because I didn’t think that was appropriate. He was injured a little bit, until I explained it to him.

Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.

You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can’t jail the Revolution.

Soon, I’ll be like all the others. The time will come for all of us, but the ideas of the Cuban Communists will remain.

I can’t make a song for a particular person or demographic. If I love it, I’m gonna do it. I have to perform it for the rest of my life. A song is like a tattoo – you can never get away from it.

This revolution, the information revoultion, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy. It’s very crude today, yet our Macintosh computer takes less power than a 100-watt bulb to run it and it can save you hours a day. What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now?

There were the questions of what kind of First Lady I would be, what issues would I focus on. Those were the questions that were being pounded on me through the campaign. A lot of times, I wondered what in the world Barack was even getting us into.

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance.

At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top – I’m afraid that’s not quite right.

I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator.

I don’t envy or much respect people who are completely politicised.

You think the world was shocked when Nixon resigned? Wait till I whup George Foreman’s behind.

When Hillary served in the Senate, I saw her work day and night as a member of the Armed Services Committee – working with Republicans and Democrats to keep our military strong and protect our troops and their families.

You’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

I will not run for president. No, nope, not going to do it.

Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren’t susceptible to rational evaluation. They grow quietly, spreading underground, and erupt suddenly, all over the place.

Whenever you put a man on the Supreme Court he ceases to be your friend.

Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.

Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of man will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice without constraint.

A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of communism.
