Intense feeling too often obscures the truth.

When a leader is in the Democratic Party he's a boss. When he's in the Republican Party he's nothing but a leader.

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

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

Leadership is getting people to do things that they don't want to do.

You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now.

I don't want this office, this responsibility, any longer, even if you want me. Find the strongest and most able and God bless you. Good-bye.
