I'm proud of every woman, of every American, that makes her dreams come true.

I'm grateful for the people who watch everyday because if the viewers don't tune in, I don't have a job and I know that.

Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Well socialism is exactly the reverse.

The great man does not think beforehand of his words that they may be sincere, nor of his actions that they may be resolute- he simply speaks and does what is right.

You may not realize it, but your life has the potential to bless everyone you encounter.

Though I never scruple a lie to serve my Master, it hurts one's conscience to be found out!
