There was tremendous animus to President [Barack] Obama. Many of people said he was un-American, not a Christian and worse.

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.

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

If you seek the presence of God, you will see the glory of God:

I have two kids and they have the same rules. We have to do this as a community.

Pleasing ware is half sold.

Mr. Bennet's expectations were fully answered. His cousin was as absurd as he had hoped, and he listened to him with the keenest enjoyment.

There's science and there's science, is all I'm saying. Where humans are the subjects, it's mostly not science

The best servant does his work unseen.

Fresh air is good if you do not take too much of it; most of the achievements and pleasures of life are in bad air.

The leaders of these moments know full well they're never gonna live next to these newly arriving immigrants. They're gonna live in gated communities. They're gonna continue to be rich.

My weakness is sweets. I like bread pudding and cheesecake in particular.
