Zitat des Tages von Bert Lance:
If the house is on fire, and the fireman shows up, you don't question his color or credentials. You don't send him back to the firehouse and say, 'Send somebody else.'
It's never easy to say you're sorry.
I've always believed that if you had a fellow who works 150 percent of the time, he's going to beat a fellow who works something less than that.
I did not want to be a source of diversion from the Mondale-Ferraro ticket. It appears no matter what I did or tried to do, that would not be the case. I came to the conclusion that it was in the best interest of all to stand aside.
Some people just decide they won't vote for you, but it doesn't have to be all negative.
I've always tried to set some kind of goal. I want to be better than anybody in the banking business, and when I ran the Highway Department in Georgia, I wanted it to be the best in the country. And of course, I have a high sense of public service.
If you have a situation where you need help, it doesn't make any difference where it comes from.
In politics, they don't want anything that deters whatever their goal is. When people get in the way of that, that's when people get hurt - and sometimes destroyed.
