Richard M. Nixon

You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character.

The Cold War isn't thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn't sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.

Politics would be a helluva good business if it weren't for the goddamned people.

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I don't think they're going to pay me to play Mufasa.
