The politician is trained in the art of inexactitude. His words tend to be blunt or rounded, because if they have a cutting edge they may later return to wound him.

The politician in my country seeks votes, affection and respect, in that order...With few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved.

A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.

I simply cannot accept that there are on every story two equal and logical sides to an argument.

Tuberculosis, starvation, fatigue, and there are many who have no desire to live.

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men – not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.
