Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.

The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That’s the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!

The biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

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

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 effort to try to present the Social Security program as if it’s a major problem, that’s just a hidden way of trying to undermine and destroy it.

What Britain needs is an iron lady.

All respect for the office of the presidency aside, I assumed that the obvious and unadulterated decline of freedom and constitutional sovereignty, not to mention the efforts to curb the power of judicial review, spoke for itself.

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

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

The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis.

You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.

Even if you’re happy with the life you’ve chosen, you’re still curious about the other options.

I wish I could make music about politics. I feel like it’s such an art and a talent that I admire tremendously, but when I step into the studio, I step out of the real world, and it’s therapeutic.

I’ve never seen America as an imperialist or colonialist or meddling country.

Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.

With Benghazi, I don’t see anyone saying, ‚Hey look, I am overall responsible for this and therefore, I take responsibility for what happened. It’s my fault.‘ I haven’t heard that yet. Meanwhile, the other side of the coin, the Osama bin Laden raid, it seems everyone made that decision, and that’s just unbelievable to me.

Democracy is the process by which people choose the man who’ll get the blame.

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.

Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.

Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.

I think Canadians are more interested in international events than Americans because it is such a small country, so politics affect it more.

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

One aspect of appellate judging is we have to give reasons for all of our decisions. And when you sit down and try to write it out, sometimes you find that your first judgment wasn’t the right one.

In any decision for action, when you have to make up your mind what to do, there is always a ‚should‘ involved, and this cannot be worked out from, ‚If I do this, what will happen?‘ alone.

Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides.

No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.

I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can’t be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they’re not getting some other matter.

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.
