I believe that in our constant search for security we can never gain any peace of mind until we secure our own soul.

Those of us who shout the loudest about Americanism, are all too frequently those who . . . ignore some of the basic principles of Americanism-the right to criticize, the right to hold unpopular beliefs, the right to protest, the right of independent thought.

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.

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

I always try to think before I talk.

I think that it is high time that we remembered that we have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution. I think that it is high time that we remembered that the Constitution, as amended, speaks not only of the freedom of speech but also of trial by jury instead of trial by accusation.
