Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Never regret anything that made you smile.

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Life is short, Break the Rules. Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably And never regret ANYTHING That makes you smile.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.

A painter can hang his pictures, but a writer can only hang himself.

I love Chicago, but I didn't think I had enough soul to be a Cubs fan.

Have fun. Keep your integrity. Do what you want to do and stay true to that.

The laws of war right now say that we can respond when our country is threatened. That is what international law says.

We live in a vague world. And it gets vaguer all the time. In this environment, the power of the specific, measurable and useful promise made and kept is difficult to overstate.
