We’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.

The only black battalion on Iwo Jima was a small munitions supply unit that came to the beach.

I had had a continuing smoldering fury about the treatment of Jews in Germany.

In 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.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust.

A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.

The fundamental question I believe is, ‚Is political Islam in our best interest?‘ If not, what is our policy to authoritatively support the countervailing forces?

I was born in London in England in 1934. I went through, as a child, the horrors of World War II, through a time when food was rationed and we learned to be very careful, and we never had more to eat than what we needed to eat. There was no waste. Everything was used.

Britain kept its position as the dominant world power well into the 20th century despite steady decline. By the end of World War II, dominance had shifted decisively into the hands of the upstart across the sea, the United States, by far the most powerful and wealthy society in world history.

The 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.

The economy’s always been the engine for our national security.

The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.

I was drafted during the Korean War. None of us wanted to go… It was only a couple of years after World War II had ended. We said, ‚Wait a second? Didn’t we just get through with that?‘

I can testify to what UNICEF means to children because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II.

We 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.

I’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.

In the early 1940s, as a young teenager, I was utterly appalled by the racist and jingoist hysteria of the anti-Japanese propaganda. The Germans were evil, but treated with some respect: They were, after all, blond Aryan types, just like our imaginary self-image. Japanese were mere vermin, to be crushed like ants.

A public man must never forget that he loses his usefulness when he as an individual, rather than his policy, becomes the issue.

Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.

The 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.

I do have a political agenda. It’s to have as few regulations as possible.

Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.

No policy that does not rest upon some philosophical public opinion can be permanently maintained.

When 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.

By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.

Twenty-six million Russians died in the defense of their homeland against the Nazis.

I 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.

The University of Notre Dame does not redshirt, and I endorse that policy completely. I am very much in favor of redshirting, but not at Notre Dame. But there’s no doubt about it. It puts us at a huge disadvantage.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.

Every nation has to follow a certain policy: Commercial, trade, various other types of policies.

The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore.

I just think that – when a country needs more income and we do, we’re only taking in 15 percent of GDP, I mean, that – that – when a country needs more income, they should get it from the people that have it.

Justice 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.

Generally speaking, the public appetite for criminal justice policy is just tough talk.

I was a little girl in World War II and I’m used to being freed by Americans.

A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.

I have a very strict gun control policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

Dalton’s records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.

John Dalton’s records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.

The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history. I mean in this century’s history. But we all lived in this century. I didn’t live in this century.

It 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.

Every 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.

One 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.

The 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.

It’s one thing to be religious, but it’s another thing to make religion your policy.

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?

If 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.
