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.

Jesse Jackson is not anti-Semitic, but in politics, you always get in trouble when you try to be cute.

In politics, you have to understand that there are some cases where you'll never be able to get votes.

The press aren't willing to wait for whatever the truth is - the truth never catches up with the lie... Destroying people ought not to be a competitive business.

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.

I don't want to see anything natural get hurt.
