"Politicians love regulating. That's part of the..." - Quote by Clint Eastwood

“I'd always tried to resist playing the supervirility thing. I liked showing the vulnerability of age.”

“I just don't like killing creatures.”

“It's not about you. It's about them.”

“Senators and presidents have climbed so high with pain enough, not because they think the place specially agreeable, but as an apology for real worth, and to vindicate their manhood in our eyes. This conspicuous chair is their compensation to themselves for being of a poor, cold, hard nature.”

“I made a mistake by being ejected from the presidency. Next time, I will choose a Cabinet which will allow me to be life President.”

“We are now vibrating between too much and too little government, and the pendulum will rest finally in the middle.”

“The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.”

“All power is of one kind, a sharing of the nature of the world. The mind that is parallel with the laws of nature will be in the current of events, and strong with their strength.”

“The study of law can be disappointing at times, a matter of applying narrow rules and arcane procedure to an uncooperative reality; a sort of glorified accounting that serves to regulate the affairs of those who have power--and that all too often seeks to explain, to those who do not, the ultimate wisdom and justness of their condition. But that's not all the law is. The law is also memory; the law also records a long-running conversation, a nation arguing with its conscience.”
