I know Gov. Christie. We’ve met a couple of times.

I have been very happy in the House of Representatives.

Whenever you put a man on the Supreme Court he ceases to be your friend.

Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets.

I hate all politics. I don’t like either political party. One should not belong to them – one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.

No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent.

In my opinion eight years as president is enough and sometimes too much for any man to serve in that capacity.

Politics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!

By what principle of original right is it that one-fiftieth or one-ninetieth of a great nation, by calling themselves a State, have the right to break up and ruin that nation as a matter of original principle?

Politics… have always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

As president, I’m committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.

I think governments can’t do much.

Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.

I think I was identified as a failed president because I wasn’t re-elected.

I know black people love the idea that we finally have a beautiful, good-looking black president. But if he is doing awful things to us, we should wake up.

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

Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.

Even people on the liberal side are starting to worry about going off a fiscal cliff.

I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.

Obama himself has been highly supportive of Mubarak.

If people wonder, yes, Hillary Clinton is my friend. She has been a friend to me and Barack and Malia and Sasha, and Bill and Chelsea have been embracing and supportive from the very day my husband took the oath of office.

I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.

We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country.

Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

I’ve never seen America as an imperialist or colonialist or meddling country.

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.

The time has come for us to draw the line. The time has come for the responsible leaders of both political parties to take a stand against overgrown Government and for the American taxpayer.

The trouble with Nixon is that he’s a serious politics junkie. He’s totally hooked and like any other junkie, he’s a bummer to have around, especially as President.

I love being in the United States Senate.

If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song.

I am certainly not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama.

There’s a tremendous gap between public opinion and public policy.

Even after Independence, we have had to face the poison of casteism and communalism. How long these evils will continue? Whom does it benefit?

Ronald Reagan used to alarm his Soviet counterparts by saying that surely they’d both unite against an invasion from Mars.

I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African American.

In truth, I did enjoy the benefits of a Harvard connection.

You think the world was shocked when Nixon resigned? Wait till I whup George Foreman’s behind.

I almost laughed about the Machiavellian plans of the presidents of the United States.

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

Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know.

Politics is not bean bags. It’s serious, tough stuff.

There’s some jerks. There’s some big egos. There are a few that think they’re one of the Founding Fathers… in both parties.

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.

I have never really thought that the Left was much in ‚array‘ as far as political purposes were concerned.

Government actually grew during the Reagan years.

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

‚Obama and Biden want to raise taxes by a trillion dollars.‘ Guess what? Yes, we do in one regard: We want to let that trillion dollar tax cut expire so the middle class doesn’t have to bear the burden of all that money going to the super-wealthy. That’s not a tax raise. That’s called fairness where I come from.

Even now I will go to, like, an industry event, and all the ladies will be over here and all the guys over here, and I will go to the guys‘ table and sit because I just feel I can have a much better conversation over there. And that’s automatic; it’s not prejudice.

Since I’m the president and Democrats have controlled the House and the Senate, it’s understandable that people are saying, you know, ‚What have you done?‘

I’ve rarely kept my distance from kind of – I don’t know if we can call it politics, but kind of, civic engagement and that kind of thing, except I tended to think, ‚Well, do it yourself before you start telling other people what they should be doing.‘

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.

Putin goes to bed at night knowing he can break all the rules, and the West will follow all the rules.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.

The U.S. couldn’t even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They’ll be killing each other again in less than a year. I’m sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.

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

The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.

We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.
