My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. To tell the truth, there's hardly a difference.

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.

Dennis Thatcher, husband of Margaret Thatcher, when asked who wore the pants in his house, said "I do, and I also wash and iron them." I only like two kinds of men; domestic and foreign.

We have destroyed 80 percent of the statues. There is only small amount left and we will destroy that soon.

Never deny a diagnosis, but do deny the negative verdict that may go with it.
