Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
No man should have a political office because he wants a job.
A public office is not a job, it is an opportunity to do something for the public.
I am not the flag: not at all. I am but its shadow.
I am whatever you make me, nothing more. I am your belief in yourself, your dream of what a people may become. . . . I am the clutch of an idea, and the reasoned purpose of resolution. I am no more than you believe me to be and I am all that you believe I can be. I am whatever you make me, nothing more.
The bravest sight in all this world is a man fighting against odds.
My stars and my stripes are your dream and your labors.
I'm very happy. I'm doing what I love.
I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.
You must always know what it is that you want.
Success is dependant on effort.
