Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicization of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanization of politics.

Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.

Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.

Mum had done everything you need to educate a kid. She made me a kid who likes books and she told me about ‚Wind in the Willows‘ and read it and I thought this is weird, Rat, Mole, Toad and my first ever Bolshie thought – you know about ‚The Wind in the Willows.‘

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I’m against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.

Children have always responded to me because I have that cartoon-character look.

Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I’m the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.

It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.

I love being in the United States Senate.

I like working-class people, generally speaking.

Babylon is everywhere. You have wrong and you have right. Wrong is what we call Babylon, wrong things. That is what Babylon is to me. I could have born in England, I could have born in America, it make no difference where me born, because there is Babylon everywhere.

Obamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.

The issues that cross a president’s desk are never easy. The easy questions don’t even get to the president.

Half a truth is better than no politics.

I think our democracy has it exactly right: two terms, eight years. It’s enough. Because it’s important to have one foot in reality when you have access to this kind of power.

We have the resources to build room for a trillion humans in this solar system, and when we have a trillion humans, we’ll have a thousand Einsteins and a thousand Mozarts. It will be a way more interesting place to live.

It is pretty ironic that the so-called ‚least advanced‘ people are the ones taking the lead in trying to protect all of us, while the richest and most powerful among us are the ones who are trying to drive the society to destruction.

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

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.

No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.

The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it’s just the thing that every man wants – to have a son and heir.

These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that.

A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled.

Putin goes to bed at night knowing he can break all the rules, and the West will follow all the rules.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.

I can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America. But it doesn’t mean I won’t run.

Ultimately this issue is on us. We’re the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.

Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.

Empire and liberty.

It is just as important that business keep out of government as that government keep out of business.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

We are so conformist; nobody is thinking. We are all sucking up stuff; we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.

In the West, as well as some other parts of the world, the personal sense of ego tends to predominate, whereas in other areas, there is a more collective sense of ego. This collective ego emphasizes the ‚we‘ rather than the ‚I.‘

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

The U.S. and its allies will do anything they can to prevent authentic democracy in the Arab world.

Regardless of what society says, we can’t go on much longer in the sea of immorality without judgment coming.

Of all nature’s gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?

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

When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.

The public is a ferocious beast; one must either chain it or flee from it.

Richard Nixon was an evil man – evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency.

I think one of the great things about the United States has been our ability to maintain a distinction between our military and domestic law enforcement.

When George W. Bush came into office, North Korea had maybe one nuclear weapon and verifiably wasn’t producing any more.

In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.

Old men are dangerous: it doesn’t matter to them what is going to happen to the world.

Whoever does not have a good father should procure one.

The terrorist action of 9/11 gave birth to President Obama’s entry to the White House. Not directly, but indirectly.

I don’t follow politics much.

The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.

I have been ever of opinion that revolutions are not to be evaded.

I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African American.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

I wasn’t going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.

I am often asked if, when I was secretary, I had problems with foreign men. That is not who I had problems with, because I arrived in a very large plane that said United States of America. I had more problems with the men in our own government.

My momma didn’t clean up floors so I could be a thug… so I could wear my pants down.

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

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

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.
