Secretary of War Stanton used to get out of patience with Lincoln because he was all the time pardoning men who ought to be shot.

Secretary of State Colin Powell thank you so much as always for joining us this morning.

I'm not a T.G.I.F. guy. I get off a plane at 2 o'clock in the morning and I'm looking for my secretary because I want to know what's going on.

If Warren Buffett made his money from ordinary income rather than capital gains his tax rate would be a lot higher than his secretary's. In fact a very small percentage of people in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes.

Being a press secretary is like learning to type: You're hunting and pecking for a while and then you find yourself doing the touch system and don't realize it. You're speaking for the president without ever having to go to him.

Secretary Powell and I agree on every single issue that has ever been before this administration except for those instances where Colin's still learning.

I feel that directors at times are like the janitors on the set. I am the secretary I am the organizer I am the maid and I ask if they have eaten or rested. The best things are always out of your control. It's those moments that surpass the imagination that are thrilling.

No I can tell you one of the first things that happens to a home secretary when they arrive in the job is that they are given a briefing about the security matters that they will be dealing with and I deal with security matters on a daily basis.

The people of Britain want a Home Secretary who will give them back their streets. They want a Home Secretary who will speak up for the victim not the criminal.

I was very happy being a secretary. I loved working for the government. I was very happy with my life.
