Honesty may not be the best policy, but it is worth trying once in a while.

Politics would be a helluva good business if it weren't for the goddamned people.

As you know, the separation of church and state is not subject to discussion or alteration. Under our Constitution no church or religion can be supported by the U.S. Government.

Don't try to take on a new personality; it doesn't work.

There can be no whitewash at the White House.
