There are people in this administration who say they don't care if the UN sinks under the East river, and other crude things.

Among peoples who are geographically grouped together like the peoples of Europe there must exist a sort of federal link. It is this link which I wish to endeavour to establish.

If women were humbler, men would be honester.

I was like, "Everybody sees my characters. Nobody sees me!"

Well, I beat my man. Now it's up to you to beat yours.

You've got to admit failure sometimes.

We are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.
