  • The chess world is obligated to organize a match between the champion of the world and the winner of this Carlsbad tournament - indeed, this is a moral obligation.

  • Can anybody tell me why reporters, in making mention of lady speakers, always consider it to be necessary to report, fully and firstly, the dresses worn by them? When John Jones or Senator Rouser frees his mind in public, we are left in painful ignorance of the color and fit of his pants, coat, necktie and vest - and worse still, the shape of his boots. This seems to me a great omission.

  • Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.

  • I've never needed government to hold my hand.

  • Government should be a place where people can come together, and no one gets left behind. No one…gets left behind. An instrument of good.

  • Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.

  • I have known some quite good people who were unhappy, but never an interested person who was unhappy.
