The atom bombs are piling up in the factories, the police are prowling through the cities, the lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but the earth is still going round the sun.

I haven’t been very active in politics.

Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.

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.

One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.

The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.

I think, under President Obama, who was a really bright guy – I didn’t agree with a lot of his politics – but we got to the point internationally where our friends didn’t trust us. They were confused. And our enemies didn’t quite respect us.

The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.

Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities.

It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard.

Obama has succeeded in descending even below George W. Bush in approval in the Arab world. It’s minuscule, few percent.

In politics… never retreat, never retract… never admit a mistake.

Nobody is above the law. Imagine if there allegations against Modi and he is the Prime Minister. Should the case not be pursued just because he has become the PM. It should not be so that it should be stopped. I am not above the law.

Democracy as a system has evolved into something that Thomas Jefferson didn’t anticipate.

When Hillary served in the Senate, I saw her work day and night as a member of the Armed Services Committee – working with Republicans and Democrats to keep our military strong and protect our troops and their families.

A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there’s no question about it.

There’s no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.

SEALs are human beings. We may all have the same haircuts, but we aren’t robots. Some SEALs are great people. Some are not great people. Some have done unspeakably terrible things. You’re dealing with different people, different dreams, different desires.

What do you think a stimulus is? It’s spending – that’s the whole point! Seriously.

Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.

The more people smoke herb, the more Babylon fall.
