Suppose Watergate had not been uncovered? I'd still be on the City Desk.

If there be any one whose power is in beauty, in purity, in goodness, it is a woman.

Leaders provide for their people what the people cannot provide for themselves.

What I say is: There is nothing that God is not. So when you ask me what God is for me, I find myself wanting to say: Everything. Everything that is, that ever was, that ever will be.

You have to show the negative to show the positivity that comes from it.
