I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter.
Barack Obama and Jimmy Hoffa are like Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Lady Gaga and hype, the 'Jersey Shore' cast and hairspray: inseparable. The president can no more disown the Teamsters Union's leader than he can disown his own id.
What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support?
My commitment to the security and future of Israel is based upon basic morality as well as enlightened self-interest. Our role in supporting Israel honors our own heritage.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
I think Barack Obama is a one-term President.
The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.
When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.
Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
Generally young men are regarded as radicals. This is a popular misconception. The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates. The radicals are the men past middle life.
Personally, I can't see the appeal in trekking down to D.C. for a networking extravaganza, even if it is built around a special moment in American history. While I find the election of Barack Obama inspirational, I don't have a desire to memorialize it with overly effusive celebration.
Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.
Honor lies in honest toil.
I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth.
If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.
It is the youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow... that are the aftermath of war.
I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.
The bud of victory is always in the truth.
There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talents.
We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.
We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.
The legislature's job is to write law. It's the executive branch's job to interpret law.
I will do my best. That is all I can do. I ask for your help - and God's.
One man with courage is a majority.
I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Some day I shall be President.
If there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.
So we really need jobs now. We have to take jobs away from other countries because other countries are taking our jobs. There is practically not a country that does business with the United States that isn't making - let's call it a very big profit. I mean China is going to make $300 billion on us at least this year.
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.
None of what Barack Obama is doing or wants to do to this country is anything the rest of the world hasn't seen before and already failed at.
I'm the No. 1 developer in New York, I'm the biggest in Atlantic City, and maybe we'll keep it that way.
So far as it depends on the course of this government, our relations of good will and friendship will be sedulously cultivated with all nations.
I think Barack Obama is a socialist. I think he cares for his country - don't get me wrong about that - but I think he truly misunderstands what this country was based upon, the values that America was based upon, which was free enterprise and having the ability to risk your capital and having a chance to have a return on your investment.
