What Washington needs is adult supervision.

Dancers are always striving for perfection. A great dancer never achieves it: you always want to do another turn, a higher jump,a more difficult acrobatic jump.

If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?

I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we – we own this country. We – we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.

The assumption is that your personal life has to be a mess to create, but how much chaos can you allow in before it takes over?

Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa’s leading organization – and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.

This administration is going to be cussed and discussed for years to come.

As president, I’m committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.

I love being in the United States Senate.

I have something in common with Nazis in that I am opposed to the radical Left. And when you oppose the radical Left, you end up being a part of a much larger group that includes Nazis in it.

I wrote some of the worst poetry west from the Mississippi River, but I wrote. And I finally sometimes got it right.

Politically there were failures. And also on the personal level, there were tremendous failures.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

I think where political issues invade moral situations, spiritual leaders have to speak out.

I just didn’t want to get out there anymore; I didn’t want to get back into what I call ‚the swamp.‘ And the other reason why is I don’t think it’s good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. President Obama’s got plenty of critics – and I’m just not gonna be one.

Whenever I go on a ride, I’m always thinking of what’s wrong with the thing and how it can be improved.

The artist part of me always wants to be appreciated. I read every review. But I never wanted to seek validation by awards or anything controlled by politics.

It’s nice to say let’s be bipartisan. But we’re a partisan nation. We were raised as a partisan nation.

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.

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

The 1928 Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see His way clear to bless the Republican Party the way it’s been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking.

I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party’s candidate for President, who happens also to be a Catholic.

No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.

Proselytism is solemn nonsense; it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.

The status quo sucks.

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

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.

Much publishing is done through politics, friends, and natural stupidity.

I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.

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. That’s all accurate and of some importance, but of far more importance is the fact that elections just don’t take place, not in any meaningful sense of the term ‚election.‘

Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.

If I don’t run for president, we’ll all be OK.

We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.

It is a fine game to play – the game of politics – and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.

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

I don’t think consensus-building politics is what I’m meant to be doing.

I think that people are tired. They’re tired of the same old kind of politics. People want a new tone to politics.

In a time of domestic crisis, men of goodwill and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics.

In politics nothing is contemptible.

Every President wants to do right.

I don’t see any possibility of Britain and the U.S. allowing a sovereign independent Iraq; that’s almost inconceivable.

In karting, you turn up and drive, look at the data and go home. But I like doing more, learning about the engines and how to make them go even better.

Obama himself has been highly supportive of Mubarak.

I think I was identified as a failed president because I wasn’t re-elected.

You do the policy, I’ll do the politics.

I perhaps ought to say that individually I never was much interested in the Texas question. I never could see much good to come of annexation, inasmuch as they were already a free republican people on our own model.

No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary – not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn’t want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.

Liberal: a power worshipper without power.

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

Every season is a new challenge to me, and I always set out to improve in terms of games, goals, assists.

Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.

I will never retire from politics, the revolution, or the ideas I have.

Government actually grew during the Reagan years.

Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.

I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.

History shows that, more often than not, loss of sovereignty leads to liberalisation imposed in the interests of the powerful.

You’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

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

People were asleep, but I think they’re waking up now. Trump has given everybody a good kick, and people are waking up and realizing they’ve got to get involved.
