There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.

Life is not a static thing. The only people who do not change their minds are incompetents in asylums, who can't are those in cemeteries.

Liv

Oljekannan är mäktigare än svärdet.

The oil can is mightier than the sword.

Jag är en man med fasta och oböjliga principer, den första är att alltid vara flexibel.

I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times.

Prinsipp

When a member of the House moves over to the Senate, he raises the IQ of both bodies

We have been through this is biennial convulsion four or five different times over the past 10 or 12 years, and now it appears that we are going through this quiet agony all over again

An old man once taught me what a million is. He said, look at your watch, and watch the second hand. You can see it every second, every minute, every day, every night, every week, every month, every year - and in 3 years it would go around 1,000,000 times.

That is one particular reason why I think there ought to be an automatic time limit.

I've decided to be a dull, morose bore at these press meetings. It's the only safe course. You give me no choice. I tell a joke and you convert it into an international incident. I coin a whimsical term and you make it appear I am at odds with the President. I indulge in some polite banter and you interpret it as a split in the Party.

Mr. President, economy is an old-fashioned thing. It savors of horse and buggy days. I am only too glad, however, to say a few words in behalf of economy, for in economy, in frugality, and in the thrift of our Government I think we shall ultimately find ourselves and our salvation.
