Sometimes a simple saying can have powerful impact on a person. Included here are some of my favorite quotes. They are arranged in alphabetical order according to last name… and a ‘special guest’ to finish it up.
President John Adams:
“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.”
Winston Churchill:
“I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”
“If you are going through hell, keep going.”
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” (Possibly my #1 favorite.)
“If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.”
President Dwight Eisenhower:
“Extremes to the right and left of any political dispute are always wrong.”
Senator John McCain:
“Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell on the right.”
Senator Paul Tsongas:
“The core of America is not racist. It is not hostile to women. It is increasingly offended by gay bashing. Yet it abhors government waste. It believes strongly in fiscal responsibility such as balanced budgets. It is pro-economic growth. It is concerned about the environment. It is intolerant of people on welfare who disdain the notion of work. But it wants poor kids to have school lunches and it wants to spend money to have good schools. In sum, most Americans are sensible, good-hearted, and prudent. The issue, then, is whether there is a political party that can welcome them home.”
Mark Twain:
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).”
Frank Zappa:
…and then there’s a man so uniquely individual that his words are… awe inspiring… yeah, that’s it…
Donald Trump
“I will build a great wall–and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me–and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
“The beauty of me is that I’m very rich.”
“I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
“I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
“We have a 5 billion dollar website. I have so many websites. I have them all over the place… I hire people… it costs me three dollars.”
“My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body.”
