Greatness is not manifested by unlimited pragmatism, which places such a high premium on the end justifying any means and any methods

It is time that the great center of our people, who reject the violence and unreasonableness of both the extreme right and the extreme left, searched their consciences, mustered their moral and physical courage, shed their intimidated silence, and declare their consciences.

We are Republicans. But we are Americans first. It is as Americans that we express our concern with the growing confusion that threatens the security and stability of our country.

The Senate has been debased to the level of a forum of hate and character assassination sheltered by the shield of congressional immunity.

I don't believe the American people will uphold any political party that puts political exploitation above national interest. Surely we Republicans aren't that desperate for victory.

My basic rule is to speak slowly and simply so that my audience has an opportunity to follow and think about what I am saying.

We should not permit tolerance to degenerate into indifference.
