Politics would be a helluva good business if it weren't for the goddamned people.

I played by the rules of politics as I found them.

Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.

The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.

A leader has to lead, or otherwise he has no business in politics.

Good government is good politics.
