A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. But what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? Prayer!

I think America has always been polarized.

I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.

Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root.

If you’re looking for the safe choice, you shouldn’t be supporting a black guy named Barack Obama to be the next leader of the free world.

I kept a very full diary of my relationship with Nixon, for some strange reason, until he became president.

The only bipartisanship you ever see is when they finally sign a bill and everybody says, ‚Gee, isn’t that wonderful?‘

Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future.

I can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America. But it doesn’t mean I won’t run.

I think I was identified as a failed president because I wasn’t re-elected.

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.

All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.

I do think that Magna Carta and international law are worth paying some attention to.

He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.

In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government.

There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.

I think my message to the politicians who have within their power the ability to make change is, ‚Do you really, really not care about the future of your great-grandchildren? Because if we let the world continue to be destroyed the way we are now, what’s the world going to be like for your great-grandchildren?‘

A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.

You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.

The good of the people is the greatest law.

I’m highly political. I spend an awful lot of time in the U.S. trying to influence decision-makers. But I don’t feel in tune with British politics.

Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.

You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.

One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

In the same way the sun never grows weary of shining, nor a stream of flowing, it is God’s nature to keep His promises. Therefore, go immediately to His throne and say, ‚Do as You promised.‘

It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it… anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

The elections are run by the same industries that sell toothpaste on television.

War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.

I had just as much support from Republicans as I did Democrats when I ran for president. But I should have organized the Democratic Party to get me re-elected.

People make a big fuss over you when you’re President. But I’m very serious about doing everything I can to make sure that it doesn’t go to my head.

I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I’ll probably… drop writing children’s books and become a political cartoonist again.

Commodities such as gold and silver have a world market that transcends national borders, politics, religions, and race. A person may not like someone else’s religion, but he’ll accept his gold.

I hate all politics. I don’t like either political party. One should not belong to them – one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.

I don’t have freedom in the United States to go into a public school and preach the Gospel, nor is a student free in a public school to pray, or a teacher free to read the Bible publicly to the students. At the same time, we have a great degree of freedom for which I am grateful.

God wants to help us… He loves us… we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for help.

You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.

My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

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

Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

Part of the problem is there are people in Washington, D.C. in positions of power to whom the border is just a nuisance, and I think some of them believe that illegal immigration is a moral good. It is not. It undermines legal immigration.

It is difficult to violently suppress people in the long run, as the example of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries has shown.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?

Government actually grew during the Reagan years.

The issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.

Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.

If we can boondoggle ourselves out of this depression, that word is going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years to come.

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
