The worst thing a politician can be is dull. At least I'm interesting.

Let historians not record that when America was the most powerful nation in the world we passed on the other side of the road and allowed the last hopes for peace and freedom of millions of people to be suffocated by the forces of totalitarianism. And so tonightto you, the great silent majority of my fellow AmericansI ask for your support.

Television is to news as bumperstickers are to philosophy.

I hereby resign this office of president of the United States.

I would rather be a one-term President and do what I believe is right than to be a two-term President at the cost of seeing America become a second-race power and to see this Nation accept the first defeat in its proud 190-year history.

Tell them to send everything that can fly.

A riot is a spontaneous outburst. A war is subject to advance planning.
