A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling.

The main thing is to make history, not to write it.

No civilization other than that which is Christian, is worth seeking or possessing.

The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.

When a man says he approves of something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice.

There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America.

Politics is not an exact science.

When you say you agree to a thing in principle you mean that you have not the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice.

I have seen three emperors in their nakedness, and the sight was not inspiring.

People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.

A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward.

Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling.

An appeal to fear never finds an echo in German hearts.

When you want to fool the world, tell the truth.

To retain respect for sausages and laws, one must not watch them in the making.

With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a fraud and a half.

Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word human.

The 'old' Internet is shrinking and being replaced by walled gardens over which Google's crawlers can't climb. Sure, Google can crawl Facebook's 'public pages,' but those represent a tiny fraction of the 'pages' on Faceboo, and are not informed by the crucial signals of identity and relationship which give those pages meaning.

When you forgive you in no way change the past but you sure do change the future.

Our world is at the crossroads. We have a choice, right and wrong.

Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in, and they essentially say they want to belong. It's incredibly vulnerable to be an actor and also get criticism at a young age when you're formulating who you are. We've seen a lot of people fall victim to that, and it's very unfortunate.

But time growing old teaches all things.

Every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there standing in the gap to close it for us.

I like women who are okay with who they are.

I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers. What I said was that all saloonkeepers are Democrats.

Dark lipstick on me is both a risk and a disaster.

'Breaking Bad' is one of my favorite shows of all time.
