An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.

I sincerely regret the unfortunate choice of language which I used in my letter of August 29 to Congressman McDonough concerning the Marine Corps.

Work Hard. Do your best. Keep your word. Never get too big for your britches. Trust in God. Have no fear; and Never forget a friend.

We're spending money that we don't have to solve a problem that doesn't exist at the behest of people we didn't elect.

Missing the mark is one of the ways in which we learn to hit the target.

The force of union conquers all.

I'm self-loathing, introverted, and neurotic.

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things, as well.

I tend to watch silently from the shadows. You learn a lot more that way.
