I cannot show remorse because I do not believe I am guilty.

I don't like government, it's just that simple.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

He and Reagan were not at all alike, because Reagan is an optimist and Dick Nixon wasn't. Yet in some ways they were alike. Neither really liked to talk on the telephone, for instance. And, in a lot of respects, both of them were very much loners.

One of the things that bothers me most is the growing belief in the country that security is more important than freedom. It ain't.

The best thing going for us is Al Gore. I cannot conceive how the American people could elect him. On the other hand, I couldn't conceive how they could elect a Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton - especially Clinton in '96.

Several things about Reagan are unusual in a public man. He was not a typical politician at all, but a private man in public life.

A better educated electorate might change the reason many persons vote.

Most politicians - those people who live, eat and breathe politics - like to sit around and talk about politics and tell political war stories. Reagan didn't do that. His war stories were movie war stories and Hollywood war stories. He loved that.

These things I believe: that government should butt out.

The executive branch has grown too strong, the judicial branch too arrogant and the legislative branch too stupid.

That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.

Government should work to insure the rights of the individual, not plot to take them away.

I cannot show remorse because I do not believe I am guilty.

That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.

Freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility.

I'm not a social friend of the Reagans. That's by their choice and by mine. They don't drink enough.

The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country.

That government is not a necessary good but an unavoidable evil.

I think the American people have become more reliant upon government and less reliant upon themselves and that they now tend to put security ahead of freedom, but I think freedom is the most important aspect of our lives.

The tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

There is no person so severely punished, as those who subject themselves to the whip of their own remorse.

Remorse is virtue's root; its fair increase are fruits of innocence and blessedness.

Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.

It really is a day job, and it also seems to have virtually disappeared-with no remorse, really. It gives me more time to paint.

Remorse is the pain of sin.

Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the world to me. Doesn't that give me equal right?

I looked back at some of my earlier published stories with genuine horror and remorse. I got thinking, How many extant copies might there be, who owns them, and do they keep their doors locked?

Good God, if our civilization were to sober up for a couple of days it'd die of remorse on the third.

Never feel remorse for what you have thought about your wife; she has thought much worse things about you.

Remorse sleeps during prosperity but awakes bitter consciousness during adversity.

Remorse, the fatal egg that pleasure laid.

Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue.

I do not feel remorse. Everybody makes mistakes in war.

Repentance is accepted remorse.

Childhood: the period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth - two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age.

Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.

On the throne, one has many worries; and remorse is the one that weighs the least.

I would far rather feel remorse than know how to define it.

Christian morality prefers remorse to precede lust, and then lust not to follow.

I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it.

There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance.

I cannot show remorse because I do not believe I am guilty.

When I think of the person that I thought was Bill Clinton, I think he had genuine remorse. When I think of the person that I now see is 100 percent politician, I think he's sorry he got caught.

Who among us has the strength to oppose petty egoism, those petty good feelings, pity and remorse?

Remorse is a violent dyspepsia of the mind.

One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence.

The reality is that each movie has got to be seen in its own light.

When someone can, on a worldwide level, make someone laugh, that's power. A lot my heroes - Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell, the Wayans, Adam Sandler - they get it. And I've always felt that Andy Samberg is the future of comedy.
