What was Watergate? A little bugging!

A politician knows that his friends are not always his allies, and that his adversaries are not always his enemies.

You don't know how to lie. If you can't lie, you'll never go anywhere.

My strong point, if I have a strong point, is performance. I always do more than I say. I always produce more than I promise.

Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.

What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.

I know you heard what you thought I said, but what I said isn't what I meant.
