If you can't fill the till, then don't pass the bill.

I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.

I'm really glad that our young people missed the Depression and missed the great big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew, leaders who told us when things were tough and that we'd have to sacrifice, and that these difficulties might last awhile. They didn't tell us things were hard for us because we were different, or isolated, or special interests. They brought us together and they gave us a sense of national purpose.

Doctors are our partners, and they need all the assistance we can give them to be sure we get the right diagnosis.

One of the most valuable lessons I learned...is that we all have to learn from our mistakes, and we learn from those mistakes a lot more than we learn from the things we succeeded in doing.

I've always told my children that life is like a layer cake. You get to put one layer on top of the other, and whether you frost it or not is up to you.

Cherish your friends and family as if your life depended on it. Because it does.
