The GOP establishment, in particular, is facing a pick-your-poison kind of decision. Many establishment Republicans dislike [Ted] Cruz personally. He has no Senate endorsements.

Republicans think that [Ted] Cruz would be like Barry Goldwater. He'd lose in a landslide and pull the party down with him. They'd lose Senate and House seats.

As one person said to me , Republicans know [Donald] Trump is a stain on their party.

Obama's even keel sometimes comes across as aloof or even cold.

For a long time, many Republicans thought if they just took two aspirin and laid down, [Donald] Trump would go away.

Donald Trump's staffing up a pretty traditional, very conservative Republican government, not a populist outsider government, at least not yet.

Romney still enjoys the Republicans' traditional advantage among voters who are veterans, but the Obama campaign is confident it can chip away at that.

While Romney has an overall deficit with women voters, his biggest disadvantage is with college educated women - wherever they work, at home, in an office, a store or a factory.

Ted Cruz is a small-government conservative.

Republicans like Trent Lott, saying [Donald] Trump would be more flexible [then Ted Cruz].

The Republican Party, right now, is a conservative populist party.

You will only receive from the universe the fruits of your thoughts

Adventures are important things in our life, to forget about our aging.

You must never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.

The Autocrat of all the Russias will resign his crown, and proclaim his subjects free republicans sooner than will our American masters voluntarily give up their slaves.

Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.

I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.

Why are people saying it's too soon? Like the people on that flight, we need to agree about what to do about terrorism. And I think we need to have that conversation now.

If we had adhered to the concept of connectedness, then we would not have created nuclear weapons, huge armies and global warming.

That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.

If you're gonna use me as a stepping stone, you'd better step hard!
