The private citizen beset by partisan appeals for the loan of his Public Opinion will soon see perhaps that these appeals are not a compliment to his intelligence but an imposition on his good nature and an insult to his sense of evidence.

Republics are created by the virtue public spirit and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people in order to betray them.

One of the things that I did before I ran for president is I was a professional speaker. Not a motivational speaker - an inspirational speaker. Motivation comes from within. You have to be inspired. That's what I do. I inspire people I inspire the public I inspire my staff. I inspired the organizations I took over to want to succeed.

I hope that I'm sexy in a different kind of way than I think that a lot of girls are right now. I think a lot of girls in the public eye especially musical artists are just kind of objectified a little bit and wearing super-skimpy outfits and leaving nothing to the imagination.

The public has an appetite for anything about imagination - anything that is as far away from reality as is creatively possible.

Imagine for yourself a character a model personality whose example you determine to follow in private as well as in public.

Humor results when society says you can't scratch certain things in public but they itch in public.

Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written Republican politicians... if they all love you you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck.

Humor has been the balm of my life but it's been reserved for those close to me not part of the public Lana.

I think there's been a decline in the public's access to what's being done with their tax dollars what's being done in their name. I hope that that will be repaired.
