This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.

President Assad, I worked with. I know him reasonably well, met with him a few times, and he’s a liar.

Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

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.

Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.

When I look back on what I did for the Left, I’m in a small way quite proud of some of it – I only wish I’d done more.

I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the Legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman’s dance.

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

When individual members of the team are highly disciplined, they can be trusted and, therefore, allowed to operate with very little oversight.

I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.

I found that with depression, one of the most important things you could realise is that you’re not alone.

Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away.

The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.

You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I’m innocent. You’ve got to believe I’m innocent. If you don’t, take my job.

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

I don’t say very much I don’t really think through. I know that sounds inconsistent with Joe Biden.

I do not believe we will have a war with Iran.

Trust, but verify.

A black person grows up in this country – and in many places – knowing that racism will be as familiar as salt to the tongue. Also, it can be as dangerous as too much salt. I think that you must struggle for betterment for yourself and for everyone.

We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.

Read my lips: no new taxes.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.

The idea that putting Americans ‚first‘ requires a withdrawal from the world is simply wrongheaded because a retreat would achieve exactly the opposite for our citizens.

Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don’t see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence.

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

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

Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.

People do not make wars; governments do.

It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.

I had three points I wanted to make: That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who’s not doing a good job. But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.

Half a truth is better than no politics.

Seven hundred thousand people who have dementia in this country are not heard. I’m fortunate; I can be heard. Regrettably, it’s amazing how people listen if you stand up in public and give away $1 million for research into the disease, as I have done.
