When you get to be President, there are all those things, the honors, the twenty-one gun salutes, all those things. You have to remember it isn't for you. It's for the Presidency.

An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.

I sincerely regret the unfortunate choice of language which I used in my letter of August 29 to Congressman McDonough concerning the Marine Corps.

Work Hard. Do your best. Keep your word. Never get too big for your britches. Trust in God. Have no fear; and Never forget a friend.

My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. To tell the truth, there's hardly a difference.

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.

Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.

A President needs political understanding to run the government, but he may be elected without it.

Democrats work to help people who need help. That other party, they work for people who don't need help. That's all there is to it.

Term limits would cure both senility and seniority- both terrible legislative diseases.

One must feel fear without allowing fear to control.

In the games of queens and kings, we leave our dreams at the door and we make do with what we have. Sometimes if we’re fortunate, we still manage to have a good life.

Watch other people for clues about who they are, not just clues about how much they are or are not like you.

How could you deal with a creature as devious as woman.

Of course I knew disco and dub from years before but I never heard such a radical new sound like house. It blew my mind!

We were never a family that had a lot. We had enough, but not a lot.

I believe that unless it's a scene where I'm alone, then of course I could do what I want but I think good acting is about what happens between people, not on your face and my face.

Something happens to people around fame and power and money - it can bring out the worst and best in people; it's a monster you have to tame.

To find a cause that's larger than yourself and then to give your life to it.

Loneliness is like being the only person left alive in the universe, except that everyone else is still here.
