"If you want to be a great leader, you have to put the interest of the country above your own.

“Sometimes with these things all the pieces fall into place. I mean, we've been talking about this for years and we don't have the script now, but sometimes things fall into place very quickly, and if everything lines up it could happen.”
“Separation is The Only Disease, It is The Causeâ€”Everything Else is The Effect!”
“The flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.”
