I'd like to harness their youthful energy with a strap.

I doubt evolution is real.

Two Soviets . . . were talking to each other. And one of them asked, "What's the difference between the Soviet Constitution and the United States Constitution?" And the other one said, "That's easy. The Soviet Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of gathering. The American Constitution guarantees freedom after speech and freedom after gathering."

I've always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world would disappear if we were talking to each other instead of about each other.

Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships.

Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.

We in government should learn to look at our country with the eyes of the entrepreneur, seeing possibilities where others see only problems
