I speak directly to the people, and I know that the people of California want to have better leadership. They want to have great leadership. They want to have somebody that will represent them. And it doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, young or old.

A lot of people are bored of all the political correctness.

You’ve all seen over the last eight years what President Obama means to this country. He is the embodiment of honor, resolve, and character – one of the finest presidents we have ever had.

Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile.

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

That sort of half sigh, which, accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head, is pity’s small change in general society.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

No people is wholly civilized where a distinction is drawn between stealing an office and stealing a purse.

For Forms of Government let fools contest; whatever is best administered is best.

If you’re looking for the safe choice, you shouldn’t be supporting a black guy named Barack Obama to be the next leader of the free world.

William Gladstone has not a single redeeming defect.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.

The finest clothing made is a person’s own skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this.

There’s only one thing that can kill the movies, and that’s education.

Where do the evils like corruption arise from? It comes from the never-ending greed. The fight for corruption-free ethical society will have to be fought against this greed and replace it with ‚what can I give‘ spirit.

If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.

If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it – young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous – is changed by it.

Doing nothing while the middle class is hurting. That’s not leadership. Loose regulations and lax enforcement. That’s not leadership. That’s abandoning our middle class.

There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.

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

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

All the United States, it is a society that is split like to the bottom, that had very poor people in the country that is one of the wealthiest countries.

The British people know that, given strong leadership, time, and a little bit of hope, the forces of good ultimately rally and triumph over evil.

The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man’s new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit.

Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.

I really don’t like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they’re horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They’d better sort themselves out and become more womanly.

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

I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people’s efforts than 100% of my own efforts.

War is a way of shattering to pieces… materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and… too intelligent.

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

The main message of Climate Revolution is that climate change is caused by the rotten financial system we’ve got, designed to create poverty and rip off any profits for a small amount of rich people. Meanwhile, it destroys the earth.

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you’ll be amazed at the results.

Wherever there is a settled society, religion is necessary; the laws cover manifest crimes, and religion covers secret crimes.

Kings will be tyrants from policy, when subjects are rebels from principle.

When I was elected President nobody asked me to negotiate between Israel and Egypt. It was not even a question raised in my campaign. But I felt that one of the reasons that I was elected President was to try to bring peace to the Holy Land.

Isn’t it strange that I who have written only unpopular books should be such a popular fellow?

Personally, I’d like to see more of our leaders take a technocratic approach to solving our biggest problems.

All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.

Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.

It is to the middle-class we must look for the safety of England.

If you call yourself a leader, then you have to be decisive. If you’re decisive, then you have the chance to be a leader. These are two sides to the same coin.

Never give an order that can’t be obeyed.
