Partisanship must end at the waters edge.

If you want to live like a Republican, you've got to vote for a Democrat.

I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a n*gger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a n*gger from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America.

This is the first time in my experience... that I ever heard of a Senator trying to discredit his own Government before the world.... Your telegram is not only not true and an insolent approach to a situation that should have been worked out between man and man - but it shows conclusively that you are not even fit to have a hand in the operation of the Government of the United States.

I have had enough experience in all my years, and have read enough of the past, to know that advice to grandchildren is usually wasted.

I don't believe in anti-anything. A man has to have a program; you have to be for something. Otherwise, you will never get anywhere.
