Fidel CastroWhen I do something, I do it full steam ahead.
Conor McGregorRegimes planted by bayonets do not take root.

Abby Lee MillerOur country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots.
John KennedyIf I could, I would not do anything else. I’d just be in the studio for my whole life. I would never go to parties, events, and red carpets. I would rather just be in the studio for the whole time. I don’t even care. Nobody has to know what I look like. I just want to make music.
Ariana GrandeWe the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

Marilyn MonroeI have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

Paulo CoelhoI think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can’t be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they’re not getting some other matter.
Warren BuffettThe essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

Winston ChurchillIn my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we’d go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father’s televised service for 17 years.

Jimmy CarterDifferences exist in practice and organization between the Lord’s Church and man-made institutions.
Russell M. NelsonNeil Young is my hero, and such a great example. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That’s what that guy does. Sometimes you pay attention, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes he hands it to you, sometimes he keeps it to himself. He’s a good man with a beautiful family and wonderful life.

Carl von ClausewitzI think our politicians could learn a lot from Mandela.

Margaret ThatcherThere is not a liberal America and a conservative America – there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America – there’s the United States of America.
Barack ObamaBefore I became a chief minister, I never thought that one day I’d be the chief minister.
Narendra ModiIf… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.
Margaret ThatcherThe New Testament says nothing of Apostles who retired and took it easy.
Billy GrahamPolitics is the art of controlling your environment.
Hunter S. ThompsonAncient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what’s going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?

Leonardo da VinciIn war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.
Winston ChurchillBeing president isn’t anything like reality TV. It’s not about sending insulting tweets or making fiery speeches; it’s about whether or not the candidate can handle the awesome responsibility of leading this country.
Michelle ObamaLet me just be very clear that the Republican Party will select a nominee that will beat Bill Clinton.
Dan QuayleIt 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.
Douglas AdamsTell me I have to be somewhere, and I’ll be there 20 minutes early and stay there longer than anybody else. You hold up a lot of people if you’re not on time.
