July does not a November election make.

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.

We saw farms go on the auction block while we bought food from foreign countries. Well, that's wrong.

July does not a November election make.

I think you have to deal with grief in the sense that you have to recognize that you have it, and say that it's OK to have all the sadness.

I thought I knew Texas pretty well, but I had no notion of its size until I campaigned it.

The here and now is all we have, and if we play it right it's all we'll need.
