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

I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.

The state of the economy is not the issue when it comes to growing a business. The relevant questions are always: ‚What business are you in? Furthermore, is it adapting to the times?‘

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.

Politics is applesauce.

I have never really thought that the Left was much in ‚array‘ as far as political purposes were concerned.

If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are, and how successful the economy is, it’s a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women.

It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.

Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.

Every family should have the right to spend their money, after tax, as they wish, and not as the government dictates. Let us extend choice, extend the will to choose and the chance to choose.

Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.

As a precious metal, silver is also money.

Tyrants seldom want pretexts.

Lincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.

If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists – to protect them and to promote their common welfare – all else is lost.

We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.

Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.

You can’t be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who’s for you and who’s against you.

You can’t just have slogans, you can’t just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to do, if it’s going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it, is to come up with an agenda that the American people can see, touch, and actually believe in, and something they believe in.

Any lady who is first lady likes being first lady. I don’t care what they say, they like it.

Like religion, politics, and family planning, cereal is not a topic to be brought up in public. It’s too controversial.

We didn’t become the most prosperous country in the world just by rewarding greed and recklessness. We didn’t come this far by letting the special interests run wild. We didn’t do it just by gambling and chasing paper profits on Wall Street. We built this country by making things, by producing goods we could sell.

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

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.

I’ve never been that much of a money guy. I’m more of a film guy, and most of the money I’ve made is in defense of trying to keep creative control of my movies.

I had to abandon free market principles in order to save the free market system.

I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief.

Read my lips: no new taxes.

Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation – not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.

If people continue to feel like Democrats are looking after poor folks and Republicans are looking after rich folks and nobody is looking after me, then we don’t get a lot of stuff done. And the trend lines evidence the fact that folks have gotten squeezed. And obviously, 2007, 2008 really ripped open for people how vulnerable they were.

When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.

I loved being Secretary of State, that’s probably evident to everyone who watched me.

I don’t like to see a president who is just out campaigning all year long or for the last four years. I’d like to see somebody who’s going in the office. In fact, I’d like to not see them because that way you’d be sure that they’d be working.

Yup, the whole birther movement was racist.

‚Bombing Afghanistan back into the Stone Age‘ was quite a favourite headline for some wobbly liberals. The slogan does all the work. But an instant’s thought shows that Afghanistan is being, if anything, bombed out of the Stone Age.

Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some.

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

We’ve got to put a lot of money into changing behavior.

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point.

Locally, I’ll vote one way and nationally, maybe another.

I think members of the legislature, people who have to run for office, know the connection between money and influence on what laws get passed.

There are only three ways to meet the unpaid bills of a nation. The first is taxation. The second is repudiation. The third is inflation.

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

I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.

Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root.

There’s a tremendous gap between public opinion and public policy.

The issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.

I’m glad I’m not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone’s tape recording what you say.

I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.

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.

Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.

It’s rare for a startup to make money immediately, so you need to make sure that you have enough saved or that you have another income stream that can support you.

Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.

I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.

There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.

For I can raise no money by vile means.

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.
