I think Churchill is right, the only thing to be said for democracy is that there is nothing else that's any better, and therefore he used to say, Tyranny tempered by assassination, but lots of assassination. People say, If the Congress were more representative of the people it would be better. I say the Congress is too damn representative. It's just as stupid as the people are; just as uneducated, just as dumb, just as selfish.

The future comes one day at a time [so don't fear and try to solve all the worries and problems of the future today].

The first requirement of a statesman is that he be dull.

The great corrupter of public men is the ego - corrupter because distracter. Wealth, sensuality, power cannot hold a candle to it. Looking in the mirror distracts one's attention from the problem.

No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies.

Always remember that the future comes one day at a time.
