If there is one eternal truth of politics it is that there are always a dozen good reasons for doing nothing.

It's not that I'm universally loved. We know I'm not in New Jersey. But what they do say in New Jersey is 'We like him and we think he's telling us the truth.' I think we need to have that type of politics on the national level.

Telling the truth and confronting the challenge is what politics is about.

Half a truth is better than no politics.

If you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics.

One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective. Election and power are.
