There’s a lot of fuss on the Left about election irregularities, like, you know, the voting machines were tampered with, they didn’t count the votes right, and so on.

If you’re a quarterback, you want everything on your shoulders. You want to be the one to make the decisions.

And they that rule in England, in stately conclaves met, alas, alas for England they have no graves as yet.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

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.

There is obviously a gap between the public’s perception of the role of U.S. foreign policy and the elite’s perception.

Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.

The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.

Well I do think, when there are more women, that the tone of the conversation changes, and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn’t mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that, you’ve forgotten high school.

The right honourable gentleman caught the Whigs bathing, and walked away with their clothes. He has left them in the full enjoyment of their liberal positions, and he is himself a strict conservative of their garments.

I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.
