Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.

The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.

No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.

To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.

When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.

You must sleep sometime between lunch and dinner, and no halfway measures. Take off your clothes and get into bed. That's what I always do.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
