Americans… still believe in an America where anything’s possible – they just don’t think their leaders do.

God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.

While victimhood in America is exalted, I don’t think our veterans should join those ranks.

To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.

I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

So while I will never minimize the costs involved in military action, I am convinced that a failure to act in Libya would have carried a far greater price for America.

Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.

The New Deal repudiation of democracy has left the Republican Party alone the guardian of the Ark of the Covenant with its charter of freedom.

I can easily imagine Obama sitting down and talking to any leader – or any person – in the world, with no baggage of past servitude or race supremacy to mar their talks.

I think that there is never an indispensable leader, you know? I think that there is a time with dignity that one needs to leave.

The word ‚belief‘ is a difficult thing for me. I don’t believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it – I don’t need to believe it.

When people say, you know, ‚Good teacher,‘ ‚Prophet,‘ ‚Really nice guy’… this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.

The wisest have the most authority.

Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.

Obamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.

One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice-president, and that one word is ‚to be prepared‘.

I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.

The spirit of America has nurtured responsibility and community unlike any other country.

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

I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people – one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion’s den. You can’t just play around with all those big cats – you’ve got to take somebody on.

I think that growing up in a crowded continent like Europe with an awful lot of competing claims, ideas… cultures… and systems of thought, we have, perforce, developed a more sophisticated notion of what the word ‚freedom‘ means than I see much evidence of in America.

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.

Obama’s not Jesus. He can’t walk on water.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

How do leaders serve their people? They may pay good wages and treat employees with respect.

God doesn’t do things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it’s not just barely enough, mediocre or lukewarm.

That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.

I happen to believe there is evil in the world.

In a democracy, allegations will never improve situations. So, I’m against allegations, but I always welcome criticism.

I really believed that fear is contagious.

I am one of those people who believes that the solution to the world’s problems is to be found behind the Iron Curtain.

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.

In America, the professor talks to the mechanic. They are in the same category.

In politics stupidity is not a handicap.

The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.

Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the – he said in the first 100 days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules – unchain Wall Street. They’re gonna put y’all back in chains.

Except for the title ‚father,‘ there is no title, including ‚vice president,‘ that I am more proud to wear than that of United States senator.

To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons.

I don’t think the Christian Right dominates America in the way some in the media believe they do.

A cynical young person is almost the saddest sight to see, because it means that he or she has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

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

I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I’m a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.

You’ve all seen over the last eight years what President Obama means to this country. He is the embodiment of honor, resolve, and character – one of the finest presidents we have ever had.

The Christian’s Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.

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

Many years ago, I concluded that a few hair shirts were part of the mental wardrobe of every man. The president differs from other men in that he has a more extensive wardrobe.

I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people’s efforts than 100% of my own efforts.

I’m personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I’m not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.

There is an afterlife. I am convinced of this.

Gray Davis can run a dirty campaign better than anyone, but he can’t run a state.

If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour.

I believe with all my heart that America remains ‚the great idea‘ that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.

Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance.

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don’t have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.

In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.

You’ll see it when you believe it.

I am a strong believer that without justice, there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway.
