Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.

I’ve never considered musical equipment very sacred.

It’s hard for anybody who’s been with me not to feel starved for affection when I’m making love to my ideas. Maybe it’s not meant for me to settle down and be married.

I don’t really know that much about love, it turns out.

I don’t like to give advice. I like to give people information because everyone’s life is different, and everyone’s journey is different.

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

In business or in life, don’t follow the wagon tracks too closely.

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.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

I supported Donald Trump.

It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.

Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

We Conservatives hate unemployment.

I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

Even after Independence, we have had to face the poison of casteism and communalism. How long these evils will continue? Whom does it benefit?

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

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

I have lived and slept in the same bed with English countesses and Prussian farm women… no woman has excited passions among women more than I have.

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn’t. Without my husband’s help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!

I have been very happy in the House of Representatives.

The more successful I become, the more I need a man.

Everything isn’t political.

Friendship… is not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.

Read my lips: no new taxes.

A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married.

If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that worked for him.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant.

I’m not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day.

There has come into being a kind of a Shia belt from Tehran through Baghdad to Beirut. And this gives Iran the opportunity to reconstruct the ancient Persian Empire – this time under the Shia label.

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.

The best marriages are the ones where we can go out in the world and really put ourselves out there. A lot of times we’ll fail, and sometimes we’ll pull it off. But good marriages are when you can go home and know that your vulnerability will be honored as courage, and that you’ll find support.

You want to know whether we’re better off? I’ve got a little bumper sticker for you: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive! Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

I almost laughed about the Machiavellian plans of the presidents of the United States.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

You don’t want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That’s what I’m missing right now.

The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.

Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

I can’t relate to lazy people. We don’t speak the same language. I don’t understand you. I don’t want to understand you.

The wisest hustler can suddenly fall for the worst tramp and lose all of his money on her. The hustler is aware of his own weaknesses and openings to con. This awareness is his edge.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they’ve tried everything else.

Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.

Arthur Miller wouldn’t have married me if I had been nothing but a dumb blonde.

Government actually grew during the Reagan years.

I think that you can love people without it being the great love.

I wish I could give you a lot of advice, based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don’t have that experience. My only experience is at losing them.

Ranking among the greatest Christmas movie classics, ‚It’s a Wonderful Life‘ tells a beautiful story about the priceless value of relationships.

Know your worth! People always act like they’re doing more for you than you’re doing for them.

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.

If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied.

Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.

An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.

If you have fear, you are bound by tradition, you follow some leader or guru. When you are bound by tradition, when you are afraid of your husband or your wife, you lose your dignity as an individual human being.

If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.
