He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.

If we have an honest discussion on whether the war on poverty should be fought with welfare or with economic growth in the private sector Democrats will lose black votes.

If we want to truly regain the public's trust we can provide greater accountability and transparency with a simple step. Let's start by communicating to our constituents about the votes we take.

I see a trend here where the President seems to think his job is to count votes and then try to make a deal That's what we in legislatures do. Mr. Obama's job is to travel the country fight for the values that he cares about.

Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.

The politician in my country seeks votes affection and respect in that order. With few notable exceptions they are simply men who want to be loved.

I hate politics. It's slimy. Any job where people pander for votes I don't like. The country has gotten so partisan that if you're not on my side you're the enemy. The only thing I ever try to support is a third party like Unity08. We need more parties and more choice.

The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal - that you can gather votes like box tops - is I think the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.
