If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

All these years, they've been giving lip service to saying that we are a party that is inclusive instead of exclusive. We've said the Democratic Party has a great big umbrella, and everybody can be comfortable under that umbrella. If they didn't mean it, then it ought to be pulled apart.

Country banks are more flexible in their lending policies than their city brethren are.

Folks are serious about three things: Their religion, their family and, most of all, their money.

I devised the Bert Lance Toe Test then - you go out on the front porch of the house, turn 'The Washington Post' over with your big toe, and if your name's above the fold, you know you're not going to have a good day.

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.

I don't know how smart I am. I just try to be what I am. I hope I'm modest. I think that's a desirable trait.

I don't see I'll ever arrive at the point where I'll say, 'Lance old boy, you've arrived at success.' There's no question about it. Once you get to the point where you've arrived at a station called success, you get complacent and lethargic. Those goals you set keep changing. But it's not a ruthless sort of thing.

I guess it is ironical that I have a chance to say to Jesse Jackson, 'You need to be mature. You need to be positive. You need to be bigger than the folks who are trying to tear you down.'

I happen to truly believe this: Success is a journey and not a destination.

I'm a futures man.

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'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 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.'

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.

It's never easy to say you're sorry.

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

Some people just decide they won't vote for you, but it doesn't have to be all negative.

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.

What I'm trying to do is maximize every day.

My life has become a reality show. When I am home, people are climbing trees with cameras. I feel that my personal space is being encroached upon. I will try and protect it as much as I can.

You cannot believe everything you hear.

I just love being around my family during the holidays.

We ought to open up energy innovation across the board and - and remove the barriers to every form of energy.

There is an awful lot of what I call recreational jazz going on, where people go out and learn a particular language or style and become real sharks on somebody else's language.

I work a lot abroad and have the most wonderful family and kids, but being away, you do miss out sometimes. I really hope I won't regret the choices in the future.

You can't stand up to the night until you understand what's hiding in its shadows.

I'm one of six kids, and the eight of us lived for over a decade in either a bus or a boat.

Bitcoin is a remarkable cryptographic achievement and the ability to create something that is not duplicable in the digital world has the enormous value.

People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.

It just happens in life, where you resonate with a particular artist. Or it can be a kind of food or a fashion - you discover it and it gives you a whole new lease on life.

It was I who made Fellini famous, not the other way around.

You build a golf game like you build a wall, one brick at a time.

The successful Idea travels from mind to mind, claiming new territory, mutating as it goes.

St. Louis is a good example of a vibrant city. Having stayed in a hotel in 2011 overlooking Cardinals stadium when they won the World Series, their fans definitely show up loud and proud.

Quilting is cheap therapy.

I purge compulsively. I'm constantly shedding things.
