When you're old, everything you do is sort of a miracle.

We must have government, but we must watch them like a hawk.

Never feel self-pity, the most destructive emotion there is. How awful to caught up in the terrible squirrel cage of self.

The only people who would be in government are those who care more about people than they do about power.

If there is one thing the past years have taught us, it is the importance of a keen and high sense of honor in those who handle our governmental affairs.

Influence comes out of the work that you've done and the things you've stood for. Influence and power shouldn't be given to just anybody who wants them.

Economics is not a science, in the sense that a policy can be repeatedly applied under similar conditions and will repeatedly produce similar results.

Party organization matters. When the door of a smoke-filled room is closed, there's hardly ever a woman inside.

The business of government is justice.

I have come to believe that one thing people cannot bear is a sense of injustice. Poverty, cold, even hunger are more bearable than injustice.

Everyone in America seems to be joining an organization of some kind, and in Congress one hears from them all.

When you begin to do what matters most to you, you let go of preconceived notions of who you are which have been fostered by others and start creating the person you most want to be.

We are not killing, we are saving.......a billion dreams.

I just wanna get to the end of the day without it raining.

Let's be cheerful! We have no more right to steal the brightness out of the day for our own family than we have to steal the purse of a stranger.

I built a series of supporters that had my back. I never abused that trust. You can't cry wolf. You have to solve most problems yourself.

I do think women change the discourse in Senate and I think it is more civil when women are involved.

Wanted, a man who will not lose his individuality in a crowd, a man who has the courage of his convictions, who is not afraid to say "No," though all the world say "Yes.

The Pledge of Allegiance reflects the truth that faith in God has played a significant role in America since the days of the founding of our country.

The goal is to be on the hook, not to let someone else do the scary parts.

When I cook him dinner and I burn it black, he better say hmmm, I like it like that.
