It is dangerous for a national candidate to say things that people might remember.

Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life-rafts.

An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.

We do not need presidents who are bigger than the country, but rather ones who speak for it and support it.

As long as the differences and diversities of mankind exist, democracy must allow for compromise, for accommodation, and for the recognition of differences.

This is, I say, the time for all good men not to go to the aid of their party, but to come to the aid of their country.

Vote against anything introduced with a "re" in it, especially reforms, reorganizations, and recodifications. This usually means going back to something that failed once and is likely to do so again.

We don't declare war any more; we declare national defense.

Whatever is morally necessary must be made politically possible.

The only thing that saves us from bureaucracy is its inefficiency.

Anything said three times in Washington becomes a fact.

Our ability to adapt is amazing. Our ability to change isn't quite as spectacular.

If we only knew the real value of a day.

What can you do if they have slapped you with a legal notice? You have to reply. For all you know, they have taken you to jail or something.

I think that whoever is the attorney general, you don't want them to be as a yes person for any particular constituency.

The problem isn't so much finding good ideas (there is no shortage) as embedding the ones we have into everyday practice.

Stop telling it like it is and start telling it like you WANT it to be!

I just think it's really important to be yourself and not trying to be something you're not.

We can't all be lions in this world. There must be some lambs, harmless, kindly, gregarious creatures for eating and shearing.
