I am absolutely disgusted that anyone would put thousands of America's boys at risk just to win a Political Campaign.

Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.

I've never thought my speeches were too long; I've rather enjoyed them.

The Senate is a place filled with goodwill and good intentions, and if the road to hell is paved with them, then it's a pretty good detour.

The great challenge which faces us is to assure that, in our society of big-ness, we do not strangle the voice of creativity, that the rules of the game do not come to overshadow its purpose, that the grand orchestration of society leaves ample room for the man who marches to the music of another drummer.

If I believe in something, I will fight for it, with all I have. But I do not demand all or nothing. I would rather get something than nothing.

Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism.
