Be extra careful in the work environment with those who like to maintain their position through charm and being political, rather than getting things done. They are very prone to envying and hating those who work hard and get results. They will slander and sabotage you without any warning.

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

All too often when liberals cite statistics, they forget the statisticians‘ warning that correlation is not causation.

John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.

Politics… have always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

George Bush made a mistake when he referred to the Saddam Hussein regime as ‚evil.‘ Every liberal and leftist knows how to titter at such black-and-white moral absolutism.

I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.

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

I’m substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They’re sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they’re hitting back and forth.

A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there’s so little competition.

The mob is the mother of tyrants.

Anywhere in Latin America there is a potential threat of the pathology of caudillismo and it has to be guarded against.

Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa’s leading organization – and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.

I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.

I’ll be honest: I haven’t ruled politics out.

Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.

I work very hard, but when God opens that door for you – when life opens that door for you, I should say – I think it’s important to be giving, to return the love back.

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

Trump has no sense of shame.

Often people become our friend or follower with an undercurrent of resentment in our having more success than they have. They secretly desire the opportunity to take us down a notch; they have a nose for any misstep on our part they can exploit.

I probably work harder, putting in a lot of time and effort, than a lot of drivers because all I think about, and all I do, is to do with racing, trying to make myself a better driver.

We need an adult in the White House. When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can’t just pop off or lash out irrationally.

I got no quarrel with them Vietcong.

In any court-like environment of power, you will inevitably find people who are drawn to those who are successful or powerful, not out of admiration, but out of secret envy.

Calumny is only the noise of madmen.

I don’t like politicians, and I don’t like politics. I definitely don’t want to be associated with any of them.

I don’t think consensus-building politics is what I’m meant to be doing.

I’ll assure you this: I will have nothing to do with politics.

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.

The fact is that we would have had comprehensive health care now, had it not been for Ted Kennedy’s deliberately blocking the legislation that I proposed in 1978 or ’79.

A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.

The Iranian government is undoubtedly a severe danger to its own population, but not beyond that.

Politics is just like show business. You have a hell of an opening, coast for a while, and then have a hell of a close.

I believe we can continue the Great Society while we fight in Vietnam.

An election is coming. Universal peace is declared, and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.

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

I have warned many times about the guaranteed dangers of betting with your heart instead of your head – big darkness, soon come – but every once in a while you get a fair chance to have it both ways, and the annual NCAA basketball Tournament is one of them.

Nothing could make me forget what the Reagan years had actually been like.

I believe that in every country the people themselves are more peaceably and liberally inclined than their governments.

I would remind you the lesser of two socialists is still a socialist.

The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.

There’s an inherent danger in letting people think that they have perfected something. When they believe they’ve ‚nailed it,‘ most people tend to sit back and rest on their laurels while countless others will be labouring furiously to better their work!

I am only an average man but, by George, I work harder at it than the average man.

Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in the desert.

I know Gov. Christie. We’ve met a couple of times.

Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.

My wife, a schoolteacher, very disciplined. If you think I’m tough, trust me, and wait till you see when the children are on the naughty step. It’s hilarious. So we decided that I’m going to work like a donkey and provide amazing support for the family.

I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.

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.

I don’t want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision.

There’s only one person in this race who will be there, who’s always been there for you, and that’s Hillary Clinton’s life story.

It isn’t generally the case that liberals dominate entire hierarchies. That isn’t generally how it works, because the hierarchies are usually set up so that conservatives fill up the hierarchies; it’s in the nature of hierarchy.

See, winners embrace hard work.

Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton both had exceptional natural abilities. Nelson Rockefeller was very good statewide but never gained national traction.

There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism.
