We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.

Frankly, I don't mind not being President. I just mind that someone else is.

I think there is one higher office than president and I would call that patriot.

If a politician murders his mother, the first response of the press or of his opponents will likely be not that it was a terrible thing to do, but rather that in a statement made six years before he had gone on record as being opposed to matricide.

We live in a world in which politics has replaced philosophy.
