I would rather be politically dead than hypocritically immortalized.

The party in power, like Jonah's gourd, grew up quickly, and will quickly fall.

You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas.

Let your tongue speak what your heart thinks.

I would rather be beaten, and be a man, than to be elected and be a little puppy dog.

Heaven knows that I have done all that a mortal could do, to save the people, and the failure was not my fault, but the fault of others.

Throughout the day no time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and independence forever.

Be always sure you are right - then go ahead.

Look at my arms, you will find no party hand-cuff on them.

I have suffered my self to be politically sacrificed to save my country from ruin and disgrace and if I am never a gain elected I will have the gratification to know that I have done my duty.

If one man in the country could take all the money, what was the use of passing any bills about it?

We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.

I would rather be politically dead than hypocritically immortalized.

The enemy fought with savage fury, and met death with all its horrors, without shrinking or complaining: not one asked to be spared, but fought as long as they could stand or sit.

It was expected of me that I was to bow to the name of Andrew Jackson... even at the expense of my conscience and judgement. such a thing was new to me, and a total stranger to my principles.

Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!

We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.

I have always supported measures and principles and not men.

I must say as to what I have seen of Texas it is the garden spot of the world. The best land and the best prospects for health I ever saw, and I do believe it is a fortune to any man to come here. There is a world of country here to settle.

Be sure you are right, then go ahead.

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.

I am so grateful for all the love and support I've had from people around the world.

Trust in yourself. Your perceptions are often far more accurate than you are willing to believe.

When you don't behave the way liberals think you should, their effort and their intention to control you compounds.

Dancing is a very healthy thing to do for our body.

Marriage? It's like asparagus eaten with vinaigrette or hollandaise, a matter of taste but of no importance.

You can find peace amidst the storms that threaten you.

My father used to take me to the movies on Saturdays. In 1940, when I was four years old, we encountered 'Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe.' I loved it. Especially the rocket ship, which I later realized had no airlock and no washroom. But they managed to get to Mongo with it.

I always give 100 at work 13 Monday 22 Tuesday 26 Wednesday 35 Thursday 4 Friday. Welcome back weekend.

Experience is a thorough teacher.

Our actions are express image of our thoughts.

If dogs could talk perhaps we would find it as hard to get along with them as we do with people.

Obama and the Democrats' preposterous argument is that we are just one more big tax increase away from solving our economic problems. The inescapable conclusion, however, is that the primary driver of the short-term deficit is not tax cuts but the lack of any meaningful economic growth over the last half decade.

My view is that, just as in many businesses, brands really matter. There will always be a role for destination sites. Eighty million users come to our destination. I think that will be the vast majority of our future business.

I'm so laid back and not high maintenance in the slightest. If I did get married, I'd probably be dancing down the aisle with the groom. I'd like something unconventional!

Let me tell you this: if Marco Rubio - even though he's only been in the Senate for a very short period of time, that man has a huge, huge opportunity in this country, and I think he could be the president.

My celebrity status allows me an opportunity, allows me a pulpit to preach and reach out to the people. Not even always preaching but just leading, motivating them by being a leader.

I was so unhealthy. I used to go to 'Cold Stone Creamery,' get a tub of Butterfinger ice cream, and eat it all before bedtime. And my fingers were permanently stained orange from Cheetos.

Despite living in this post-9/11 age of transnational terrorism, the risk of death during air travel has plummeted to the point where we now measure it in the 'per billions' of passengers.

I believe America is the most powerful country in the world and is a country that stands on principle. Its principles are enshrined in its very foundation and constitution, and it has a duty to serve humanity. America has a duty to follow its conscience to reject repression. It must reject oppression. It must reject humiliation.

I think I could be a cook. Everybody always says I'm good, though I think it's quite gruelling as a profession.

You've got to forget about this civilian. Whenever you drop bombs, you're going to hit civilians.
