I had practiced with the team, and the first scheduled game was with the University of Missouri. They made it quite clear to the Army that they would not play a team with a black player on it. Instead of telling me the truth, the Army gave me leave to go home.
Jackie RobinsonWhen a new source of taxation is found it never means, in practice, that the old source is abandoned. It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had one before.
H. L. MenckenYou know we’re going to control the insurance companies.
Joe BidenThe 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.
Noam ChomskyWe’ve used up a lot of bullets. And we talk about stimulus. But the truth is, we’re running a federal deficit that’s 9 percent of GDP. That is stimulative as all get out. It’s more stimulative than any policy we’ve followed since World War II.
Warren BuffettThe economy’s always been the engine for our national security.
Jim MattisReligion is compulsory in English schools, you know.
Christopher HitchensFirst, 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?
Barack ObamaPeace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.
Thomas JeffersonProhibition is better than no liquor at all.
Will RogersThe fundamental question I believe is, ‚Is political Islam in our best interest?‘ If not, what is our policy to authoritatively support the countervailing forces?
Jim MattisA policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.
Mahatma GandhiA Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.
Benjamin DisraeliThe Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore.
Fidel CastroI disagree with any policy that would turn America’s back on people who are fleeing harm. I frankly believe that it is contrary to everything that we have symbolically and actually said we stand for.
Kamala HarrisI do have a political agenda. It’s to have as few regulations as possible.
Dan QuayleIt’s one thing to be religious, but it’s another thing to make religion your policy.
Madeleine AlbrightThere is probably a perverse pride in my administration… that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who’s occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can’t be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.
Barack ObamaWhen I left the University of Notre Dame, I honestly felt I would never coach again.
Lou HoltzJustice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.
Edmund BurkeEvery nation whose affairs betray a want of wisdom and stability may calculate on every loss which can be sustained from the more systematic policy of its wiser neighbors.
James MadisonBy definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
Albert CamusGenerally speaking, the public appetite for criminal justice policy is just tough talk.
Kamala HarrisI like policy. It’s why I decided to enter government. The other thing I like about government – you have good days, you have bad days, but you never have a boring day, and that’s important to me.
John KennedyThe U.S. immigration laws are bad – really, really bad. I’d say treatment of immigrants is one of the greatest injustices done in our government’s name.
Bill GatesBarack Obama did tell me that I was one of Michelle Obama’s favorite actors.
Dwayne JohnsonEvery nation has to follow a certain policy: Commercial, trade, various other types of policies.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamNonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.
Nelson MandelaThe one who adapts his policy to the times prospers, and likewise that the one whose policy clashes with the demands of the times does not.
Niccolo MachiavelliIf you’re in favour of any policy – reform, revolution, stability, regression, whatever – if you’re at least minimally moral, it’s because you think it’s somehow good for people. And good for people means conforming to their fundamental nature.
Noam ChomskyI didn’t play soccer; I played that other football in grade school through college.
Joe BidenI have not endorsed Trump and will not do so.
Henry KissingerDollywood is a family park, and all families are welcome. We do have a policy about profanity or controversial messages on clothing or signs. It is to protect the individual wearing or carrying them, as well as to keep down fights or problems by those opposed to it at the park.
Dolly PartonA public man must never forget that he loses his usefulness when he as an individual, rather than his policy, becomes the issue.
Richard M. NixonI’m opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period.
Kamala HarrisThe immigration issue is, I recognize, one that generates a lot of passion, but it does not make sense for us to want to push talent out.
Barack ObamaIn the United States, one of the main topics of academic political science is the study of attitudes and policy and their correlation. The study of attitudes is reasonably easy in the United States: heavily-polled society, pretty serious and accurate polls, and policy you can see, and you can compare them.
Noam ChomskyOne of the peculiarities of Delhi is that the term ‚reform‘ is associated only with passing of laws in Parliament. In fact, the most important reforms are those needed, without new laws, at various level of the government, in work practices and procedures.
Narendra ModiNo policy that does not rest upon some philosophical public opinion can be permanently maintained.
Abraham LincolnAmong the friends of Union, there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to slavery and the African race among us.
Abraham LincolnI have a very strict gun control policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.
Clint EastwoodIt is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.
Douglas MacArthurWe 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.
Barack ObamaI like policy – call me a nerd.
John Kennedy
