The utter incompetence of the U.N. is literally incomprehensible.

We are a communicating nation which needs access to space, access to the seas.

The utter incompetence of the U.N. is literally incomprehensible.

I'm a big supporter of immigration.

We are a studying nation. Scholarship from science is important to the whole world and those people need to be able to be safe and secure in what they do.

If the Republicans think that by having stated and even achieved most of the Contract that they are therefore entitled to the acceptance and favor of the American voter, they're crazy.

We're taking on Social Security as a property rights issue. We figure that every single American has an absolute property right interest in the fruits of his or her own labor. What I work for should be my property.

I don't think the only place to fight for freedom is in the halls of Congress.

Yes, many immigrants cherish the value of choice and opportunity and the value of education more than 7th or 8th generation Americans.

Government, which does not and did not grant us our rights, must not now seek to deny them by using fear as its justification.

Our educational system is appallingly poor right now. Yet, somehow we're turning out some of the most intellectual and powerful sophisticated minds in the world. I think that's because we still have the opportunity here.

You talked about national identity cards and the terrorism bill. We have made a government that has grown used to viewing us as subjects, has grown used to seeing its role as commanding us.

Finally we are a nation with some conscience. It means alliances are extremely important when they're based on a national interest. We have to have the ability to sustain our presence within those alliances.

It's insanity for a party that believes in freedom to allow some Republicans to seize an agenda that is totally alien to the agenda that was established in the election.

There aren't traditions of freedom in a place like Iraq. They're going to have to come to grips with a concept that they hadn't been allowed to conceive before.

The ultimate end is a nation that lies under the concept of the Declaration of Indepen dence. The Declaration of Independence is such an extraordinary statement - it was designed by people skeptical of government, local or national, but in particular national.

So with the end of the Cold War, it became increasingly obvious that there was no basis upon which any decision was being made, not in the White House, and certainly because of that, not in the Congress.

We don't need a nation that has national identity cards.

The concept of minimum wage is crazy, if you really stop to think about it. If $8 an hour seems right, why not $20 an hour? If it's coming by order of the government, why stop at any level? Why not just say everyone should get what Gates gets?

Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies.

The utter incompetence of the U.N. is literally incomprehensible.

A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

For four years, I listened to stories of intelligence failures, and it wasn't due to incompetence of anyone in the system, but that the system is so arcane.

The problem is with men. I know I shouldn't say this, but they've shrouded and hidden women to hide their incompetence.

Is puppy love the reason so many Americans are blind to the incompetence and waste of Republicans - who at a minimum are supposed to be good money managers - running Iraq reconstruction?

In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.

Marriage, laws, the police, armies and navies are the mark of human incompetence.

Man cannot live by incompetence alone.

It has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks.

In the lead up to the Iraq war and its later conduct, I saw at a minimum, true dereliction, negligence and irresponsibility, at worse, lying, incompetence and corruption.

Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing are the gods of double-guitar axemanship.

I sort of grew up doing theater. And that's how I got into film, actually.

Kevin Keegan said if he had a blank sheet of paper, five names would be on it.

You can't make a movie about making movies - it's boring.
