I can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imagine what the country would be – with Donald Trump as our president.

You think the world was shocked when Nixon resigned? Wait till I whup George Foreman’s behind.

Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

The United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control – ‚indoctrination‘, we might say – exercised through the mass media.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.

A process which led from the amoeba to man appeared to the philosophers to be obviously a progress though whether the amoeba would agree with this opinion is not known.

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

To be honest, there are no problems between me and Messi. People have their own opinions about who they think is the better player. It is what it is, but there is no rivalry beyond games and what happens on the pitch.

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

Iraq is a long way from the U.S., but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.

In my opinion, rankings are a very fickle measurement of one’s success and it is best to not get carried away by it.

Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.

Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.

I went on all over the States, ranting poems to enthusiastic audiences that, the week before, had been equally enthusiastic about lectures on Railway Development or the Modern Turkish Essay.

I can’t go out with a Republican.

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise.

I sent out a tweet, ‚Dancing with the Stars‘ should stop the jibber jabber. They shouldn’t make the departure of a dancer so tear jerky because nobody’s going to war.

In my opinion, there is no aspect of reality beyond the reach of the human mind.

Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable.

To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.

I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.

Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I’m very grateful for the support and kindness that we’ve gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband’s policies or what have you, they care about children and that’s been good to see.

As strong as the United States is, we can’t deal with terrorism alone.

Winning the election is a good-news, bad-news kind of thing. Okay, now you’re the mayor. The bad news is, now you’re the mayor.

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

One-third of the people in the United States promote, while the other two-thirds provide.

In general, I think, U.S. policies remain constant, going back to the Second World War. But the capacity to implement them is declining.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

The Soviet government is the most realistic regime in the world – no ideals.

When you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you’re doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she’s doing.

When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were – to the very last minute – a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.

My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington.

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

We are all the President’s men.

I never accepted Communist dogma or theory.

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

NATO’s essentially run by the United States.

When Rumsfeld gets up on television and says we have definitive intelligence that al Qaeda is working with Iraq, how is an ordinary citizen supposed to react? They won’t tell you the evidence, and when anyone asks, they say, ‚Well, you know: It’s secret.‘

Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future.

People in Latin America… love America from afar and emulate America in some ways but also hate a lot of things that America does to them.

Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.

I think ‚Invisible‘ is a great song, but I don’t know how accessible it is.

When the Revolution triumphed in 1959, our island was a true Yankee colony. The United States had duped and disarmed our Liberation Army. One couldn’t speak of developed agriculture, but of immense plantations exploited on the base of manual and animal labour that in general used neither fertilizers nor machinery.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors… I mean it.

This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.

If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don’t ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.

To say that the United States has pursued diplomacy with North Korea is a little bit misleading. It did under the Clinton administration, though neither side completely lived up to their obligations. Clinton didn’t do what was promised, nor did North Korea, but they were making progress.

By disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.

The great thing about the United States and the historically magnetic effect it has had on a lot of people like me is its generosity, to put it simply.

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

I am opposed to the accumulation of executive power anywhere.

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.

I really don’t like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they’re horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They’d better sort themselves out and become more womanly.

Read my lips: no new taxes.

Putin goes to bed at night knowing he can break all the rules, and the West will follow all the rules.

I think that if I would talk on a political subject, if I talk about it, it would divide the audience on that issue. That’s not my issue.

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

It sure is hell to be president.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced – the just demands of peace and security will be met – or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

Israel is a pretty crazy state.
