President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we're both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.

There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white.

Never forget, the press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it.

Men, in general, are a sort of scum, very different to anything of which you have an idea.

Non-co-operation means refusal both to help the sinner in his sin and not to accept any help or gift from him till he has repented.

I write books that seem more suitable for children, and that's OK with me. They are a better audience and tougher critics. Kids tell you what they think, not what they think they should think.

One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.

I think most people who have dealt with me think I'm a pretty straight sort of guy, and I am.
