I'm the lamest lame duck there could be.

I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.

I've seen many politicians paralyzed in the legs as myself, but I've seen more of them who were paralyzed in the head.

Look at all the buses now that want exact change, exact change. I figure if I give them exact change, they should take me exactly where I want to go.

Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever!

Since my accident I am a little more mindful of the suffering of other people.

Sure, I look like a white man. But my heart is as black as anyone's here.

I'm the lamest lame duck there could be.

After much prayerful consideration, I feel that I must say I have climbed my last political mountain.

If any demonstrator ever lays down in front of my car, it'll be the last car he'll ever lay down in front of.

Why does the Air Force need expensive new bombers? Have the people we've been bombing over the years been complaining?

They're building a bridge over the Potomac for all the white liberals fleeing to Virginia.

Stress on fast growing companies comes from a lot of different places. The one that is often the largest, and creates the most second-order issues, is the composition of the leadership team. More specifically, it's specific people on the leadership who don't have the scale experience their role requires at a particular moment in time.

A hero is someone right who doesn't change.

I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.

Respect can be as elusive as the unicorn. I know something of this because I write books that are set in the Middle Ages, and the historical novel is often seen as the unwanted stepchild in the fictional family. I know even more about respect - or the lack thereof - because I live in New Jersey.

The first decent building I did with my own practice was a chapel in Taiwan.

Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.

Faith in God means believing absolutely in something with no proof whatsoever. Faith in humanity means believing absolutely in something with a huge amount of proof to the contrary. We are the true believers.

The days were longer then for time, like money, is measured by our needs, when summer afternoons were spacious, and the clock ticked slowly in the winter evenings.

I try to run so I can eat anything I want. I feel it's a luxury to be able to splurge on something like foie gras and not have to think about it.

The wish to pray is a prayer in itself. God can ask no more than that of us.

A drink a day keeps the shrink away.

The U.K. and the U.S. could not have been built today without Africa's aid. It is all the resources that were taken from Africa, including human, that built these countries today! So when they try to give back, we shouldn't be on the defensive.

The bedfellows politics made are never strange. It only seems that way to those who have not watched the courtship.

I love New York. I love the multicultural vibe here. Los Angeles doesn't inspire me in any way. Everyone is in the same industry, yet you feel very isolated.

Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home.

When it comes down to it, glam rock was all very amusing. At the time, it was funny, then a few years later it became sort of serious-looking and a bit foreboding.

I think one of the most humiliating moments of my life was putting on spandex, personally. It's always nice when four women pull you into spandex when you're in jockey shorts. Yeah.

There's even an aircraft sensor system that sends down hundreds of thousands of pulses of light measured at different return rates. It allows you to literally strip away vegetation and see entire cities beneath the rain forest canopy. This is the unbelievable future of archaeology.

There are many other kinds of milk available. Why don't we try drinking rats' milk and dogs' milk?

It is both an honour and a privilege to be asked to lead NBC News. The power of the brand, the scale of the legacy, the depth of the talent all make this organisation truly great.

A key U.S. initiative in this trade war must be to develop reliable trading partners in the world.

A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life.

I think music and laughter are the two things that can keep you alive. Someone who is really depressed, tell them a joke, and they may come out of it for even just a moment. Or play them something.

The whole concept of rewarding customers is a big trend.
