The time has come for all good men to rise above principle.

'Every man a king' - that's my slogan.

In a political fight, when you've got nothing in favour of your side, start a row in the opposition camp.

I'd rather violate every one of the damn conventions and see my bills passed, than sit back in my office, all nice and proper, and watch 'em die.

I'm for the poor man - all poor men, black and white, they all gotta have a chance. They gotta have a home, a job, and a decent education for their children. 'Every man a king' - that's my slogan.

The only difference I ever found between the Democratic leadership and the Republican leadership is that one of them is skinning you from the ankle up and the other, from the ear down.

I can frighten or buy ninety-nine out of every one hundred men.
