Well, I have great respect for Senator Hirono.

Let me just be very clear that the Republican Party will select a nominee that will beat Bill Clinton.

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

It is better to take what does not belong to you than to let it lie around neglected.

Empire and liberty.

For a sitting U.S. president to see our allies as freeloaders is nuts.

The art of government is the organisation of idolatry.

I’m the president of the United States. I’m not the emperor of the United States.

In my country we go to prison first and then become President.

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.

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

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.

You’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

Politicians love regulating. That’s part of the whole power structure.

A flippant, frivolous man may ridicule others, may controvert them, scorn them; but he who has any respect for himself seems to have renounced the right of thinking meanly of others.

Feeling like you’re respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.

Politics is a profession; a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one.

Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I’m drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar.

The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the Democrat is a cannibal they have to live off each other, while the Republicans, why, they live off the Democrats.

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

I would rather drink weedkiller than support Obamacare.

When I look back on what I did for the Left, I’m in a small way quite proud of some of it – I only wish I’d done more.

The people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes.

Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy.

There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.

In politics… never retreat, never retract… never admit a mistake.

If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.

A lot of people are realizing they had the wool pulled over their eyes by Obama.

Once you appreciate one of your blessings, one of your senses, your sense of hearing, then you begin to respect the sense of seeing and touching and tasting, you learn to respect all the senses.

Of course we all know Biden is the intellect of the Democratic Party. Kind of a grin with a body behind it.

The truth of the matter is that Iran is a cancer.

John F. Kennedy was the victim of the hate that was a part of our country. It is a disease that occupies the minds of the few but brings danger to the many.

I don’t think President Trump is a racist.

Barack Obama is probably the most exciting candidate that either the Democratic or Republican party has produced at least since I’ve been around. He’s fresh, he’s new, he’s insightful.

In hip-hop, there’s not a lot of love. There’s not a lot of love being spread. It’s always like ‚I’m stuntin‘ on you raps, or I’m better than you raps.‘ It’s not a lot of ‚Yo man, I idolize you raps.‘

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.

Any lady who is first lady likes being first lady. I don’t care what they say, they like it.

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

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour.

I have no further use for America. I wouldn’t go back there if Jesus Christ was President.

Free government is the most difficult of all government. But it is everlastingly true that the plain people will make fewer mistakes than any other group of men, no matter how powerful.

When I was old enough to change my name, I changed it to Mr. T so that the first word out of someone’s mouth was ‚Mister,‘ a sign of respect.

Synergy is what happens when one plus one equals ten or a hundred or even a thousand! It’s the profound result when two or more respectful human beings determine to go beyond their preconceived ideas to meet a great challenge.

I hope I would not be so arrogant as to doubt anyone’s religion or belief.

It is a virtual reflex for governments to plead security concerns when they undertake any controversial action, often as a pretext for something else.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.

I will not run for president. No, nope, not going to do it.

You can’t just have slogans, you can’t just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda.

I don’t care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

You’re morally tainted if you don’t treat both the accuser and the accused with fairness and with respect, and with due process.
