Wedding: the point at which a man stops toasting a woman and begins roasting her.

A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.

Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.

I'd never get elected if people in North Carolina realized how liberal I am.

I am neither pro- nor anti-gun. I am gun-conscious.

Thats what I crave that diversity.

The first duty of man is that of subduing fear.
