I have no desire to go in for tyranny or to play the part of King Charles. I hate tyranny in any field of human activity.

Our democracy poses problems and these problems must and shall be solved by courageous leadership.

Economics, politics, and personalities are often inseparable.

In physics, to be in two places at the same time would be a miracle; in politics it seems not merely normal, but natural.

I would rather be respected than elected.

I want to make this perfectly clear: you can be sure that I will never be a yes-man except to my own conscience.

It is my happy privilege to be able to stand here and tell you that if you elect me you will have elected a governor who has made no promises of preferment to any man or group.
