Politics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole.

Politics is the womb in which war develops.

Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.

Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals.

It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.

I feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.

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.

There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.

America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.
