Politics is a noble activity. We should revalue it, practise it with vocation and a dedication that requires testimony, martyrdom, that is to die for the common good.

The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.

We can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

I’ve analyzed the best I can… and I have not found an impeachable offense, and therefore resignation is not an acceptable course.

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.

Jiro Ono serves Edo-style traditional sushi, the same 20 or 30 pieces he’s been making his whole life, and he’s still unsatisfied with the quality and every day wakes up and trains to make the best. And that is as close to a religious experience in food as one is likely to get.

Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.

Remember, no one decides who they’re going to vote for based on the vice president. I mean that literally.

Politicians must set their aims for the high ground and according to our various leanings, Democratic, Republican, Independent, we will follow. Politicians must be told if they continue to sink into the mud of obscenity, they will proceed alone.

The example that America knows how to govern itself is one of the compelling aspects of our national security.

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.

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.

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.

Democracy is worth dying for, because it’s the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.

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.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one’s own religion.

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

Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.

The advice I’ve been giving to people all my life – that you may not be interested in the dialectic but the dialectic is interested in you; you can’t give up politics, it won’t give you up – was the advice I should have been taking myself.

It is the duty of the President to propose and it is the privilege of the Congress to dispose.

Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.

As a matter of fact, I didn’t make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years.

I’ve had mixtapes that have been better than albums I’ve heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.

Israel is a pretty crazy state.

One of the things that I’m very excited about with New Shepard, which is our suborbital tourism vehicle, is using that to get a lot of practice. One of the equilibria that we’re at today with space launch is that we don’t get to practice enough.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

Obama, of course, outspent McCain.

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.

To the man who reads ‚Scouting for Boys‘ superficially, there is a disappointing lack of religion in the book. But to him who tries it in practice, the basic religion underlying it soon becomes apparent.

I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would’ve voted, I would’ve voted for Trump.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

Commitment is an act, not a word.

For Forms of Government let fools contest; whatever is best administered is best.

I do my job like I breathe.

Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.

Freedom does not die from frontal attack. It dies because men in power no longer believe in a system based upon liberty.

Those newspapers of the nation which most loudly cried dictatorship against me would have been the first to justify the beginnings of dictatorship by somebody else.

The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the Democrat is a cannibal they have to live off each other, while the Republicans, why, they live off the Democrats.
