I've played everything - baseball, football, basketball. I can still swim a mile a day. That's why I can't walk.

When I'm not a politician, I'll be dead.

I found Mr. Carter's actions toward the Republic of China so incredible that they defy description by socially acceptable expletives. If December 7, 1941 was a "day of infamy" then December 15, 1978 ranks right up there in international betrayal...The pathetic thing about this whole mess, however, is that it is typical of this administration's conduct of foreign affairs, which could be kindly described as being riddled by ineptitude and hypocrisy.

The constitution is an instrument, above all, for LIMITING the functions of government.

I've always said I have nothing against a woman doing anything a man can do as long as she gets home in time to cook dinner.

The conservative movement, to which I subscribe, has as one of its basic tenets the belief that government should stay out of people’s private lives. Government governs best when it governs least – and stays out of the impossible task of legislating morality. But legislating someone’s version of morality is exactly what we do by perpetuating discrimination against gays.
