This idea, as you know, that I have firm convictions that the idea of issues being a big deal where our mutual friend went back and he felt so strongly that the determining factor in electoral success should be a proven character.

Do the right thing even if it means dying like a dog when no one's there to see you do it.

Great leaders gain authority by giving it away.
