When you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.

In my opinion eight years as president is enough and sometimes too much for any man to serve in that capacity.

Put an underdog on top and it makes no difference whether his name is Russian, Jewish, Negro, Management, Labor, Mormon, or Baptist he goes haywire. I've found very, very few who remember their past condition when prosperity comes.

Every segment of our population, and every individual, has a right to expect from his government a fair deal.

When the decision is up before you-and on my desk I have a motto which says "The buck stops here"-the decision has to be made.

I said that an expert was a fella who was afraid to learn anything new because then he wouldn't be an expert anymore.

I do not believe in shooting anything that cannot shoot back.
