“The person who pays an ounce of principle for a pound of popularity gets badly cheated.”

“It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons. The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.”

“In a world wracked by hatred, economic crisis, and political tension, America remains mankind's best hope.”

“There are two things nobody should ever have to watch being made, sausage and laws.”

“So is the English Parliament provincial. Mere country bumpkins, they betray themselves, when any more important question arises for them to settle, the Irish question, for instance,--the English question why did I not say?
