People are finding it harder and harder to relate to foreign policy.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

There is something about building up a comradeship – that I still believe is the greatest of all feats – and sharing in the dangers with your company of peers. It’s the intense effort, the giving of everything you’ve got. It’s really a very pleasant sensation.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‚I used everything you gave me‘.

A leader in the Democratic Party is a boss, in the Republican Party he is a leader.

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.

There was never a good war, or a bad peace.

Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember – there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.

I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world.

Men weren’t always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.

When we are well, we all have good advice for those who are ill.

Kathleen Wynne and her band of radical-left cronies think they have a handle on what constitutes human identity and also what should constitute human morality. And I think that that’s being pushed in a manner in schools that’s completely reprehensible. It’s not education, in my estimation. It’s a form of indoctrination.

The last thing I wanted to do was to be a wartime President.

If… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.

You and I are stuck with the necessity of taking the worst of two evils or none at all. So-I’m taking the immature Democrat as the best of the two. Nixon is impossible.

The mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech.

I don’t want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision.

He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.

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.

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

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.

We Conservatives hate unemployment.

I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.

I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn’t. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues.

I’m the only president you’ve got.

No weapon has ever settled a moral problem. It can impose a solution but it cannot guarantee it to be a just one.

Laws are silent in time of war.

We have an obligation to help people that cannot help themselves. The mentally retarded, the physically retarded, et cetera.

I don’t keep people around me that aren’t family. You don’t get to stay. Unless you’re eating at the table with us, you’re not part. We eat together, we cry together, we live together, we die together. Everything that we do is for each other, and we care for another.

Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.

Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.

When Hillary served in the Senate, I saw her work day and night as a member of the Armed Services Committee – working with Republicans and Democrats to keep our military strong and protect our troops and their families.

Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.

Many things shall change in Cuba, but they shall change because of our efforts and despite the United States. Perhaps that empire shall crumble first.

A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.

The people who truly know me know what I’m like. There have been people who try to say things that aren’t fair, and I check them. And then they don’t like me because I checked them.

Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.

I’m not a politician. And I don’t want to be.

Nature does nothing in vain.

The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.

If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.

I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.

Obamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.

Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.

Something’s very wrong with a nation that would rather spend money on war than take care of its children.

Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.

Sometimes, I think if you get away from what you’re called to do, it’s more of a distraction.

Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.

However my parents – both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing quirk that would never pay a mortgage or secure a pension.

I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems… It’s got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.

There is not a liberal America and a conservative America – there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America – there’s the United States of America.

War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There’s no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.

In order to have your voice be heard in Washington, you have to make some little contribution.

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.

People make a big fuss over you when you’re President. But I’m very serious about doing everything I can to make sure that it doesn’t go to my head.

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