I was tired. I hadn't slept eight hours in two, three years. I lived on four, five hours of sleep. You can do it during a campaign because thousands are screaming for you. You're getting adrenaline shots each day. Then the campaign ends, and there are no more shots.

I am fed up with a system which busts the pot smoker and lets the big dope racketeer go free.

Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.

I still love to go back to Mitchell [his home town] and wander up and down those streets. It just kind of reassures me again that there is a place that I know thoroughly, where the roots are deep. Everything had a place, a specific definition.

It can take greater courage to stand in opposition to the views of your neighbors or nation than to confront an enemy in combat.

So, I think that's the centerpiece of morality: Don't lie. But to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is.

You know, sometimes, when they say you're ahead of your time, it's just a polite way of saying you have a real bad sense of timing.
