“Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate!  Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

—To Mikhail Gorbachev at the tearing down of the Berlin Wall

“Our coins bear the words 'In God We Trust'.  We take the oath of office asking His help in keeping that oath.  And we proclaim that we are a nation under God when we pledge allegiance to the flag.  But we can't mention His name in a public school or even sing religious hymns that are nondenominational.  Christmas can be celebrated in the schoolroom with pine trees; tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated.  One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.”

“Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession.  I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.”

“There are some who've forgotten why we have a military.  It's not to promote war; it's to be prepared for peace.”

“There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.”

“Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.”
