If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.

We need an adult in the White House. When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can’t just pop off or lash out irrationally.

I am often asked if, when I was secretary, I had problems with foreign men. That is not who I had problems with, because I arrived in a very large plane that said United States of America. I had more problems with the men in our own government.

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.

Study the past, if you would divine the future.

The only justification for repressive institutions is material and cultural deficit. But such institutions, at certain stages of history, perpetuate and produce such a deficit, and even threaten human survival.

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

I don’t think President Trump is a racist.

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.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years.

The greatest tragedy in mankind’s entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.

Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.

War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support.

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.

Jewelry and pins have been worn throughout history as symbols of power, sending messages. Interestingly enough, it was mostly men who wore the jewelry in various times, and obviously crowns were part of signals that were being sent throughout history by people of rank.

The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.

Political courage is not political suicide.

In Germany I have been acknowledged again since the fall of Hitler, but my works, partly suppressed by the Nazis and partly destroyed by the war; have not yet been republished there.

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

I’m the president of the United States. I’m not the emperor of the United States.

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.

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he’d lie just to keep his hand in.

The upward course of a nation’s history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women.

There’s a lot of fuss on the Left about election irregularities, like, you know, the voting machines were tampered with, they didn’t count the votes right, and so on.

No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.

I think politicians really go with the tide.

The day-to-day making of policy is arguing all the time. You’re trying to get the right approach and the right answer, and there are moments that aren’t very pleasant. But in the end, you look at the overall product.

It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe. We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence.
