“We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.”

Humans are not responsible for climate change in the way some of people are trying to make us believe, for the following reason:

Donald Trump says five things: everyone’s dumb, he’s going to make America great again, we’re going to win, win, win. He’s winning in the polls.

Donald Trump is a world-class con artist. He conned all these people that signed up for Trump University. Now he’s trying to do the same thing to Republican voters. He’s trying to convince them that somehow he’s the guy that is going to stand up to illegal immigration.

Why was I succeeding? Why was I living my dreams? I wasn’t more deserving than they were. I wasn’t smarter or a better person.

We must change the decisions we are making by changing the people who are making them.

Once again, America finds itself with some leaders who believe we can ignore the world without consequences here at home. Apparently they’re oblivious to the reality that we are less insulated from global events than ever before.

I don’t ever remember them telling us or teaching us that the only way we could be more successful is if other people were less successful. They never inculcated the belief that somehow, in order for us to climb the ladder, other people have to come down from the ladder.

If Donald Trump builds the wall the way he builds Trump Towers, he’ll be using illegal immigrant labor to do it.

If Donald Trump is our nominee, it could be the end of the Republican Party. It will split us and splinter us in a way that we may never be able to recover. And the Democrats will be joyful about it. It’s not going to happen.

Donald Trump’s views on Vladimir Putin, I think, are troubling. And I don’t think he fundamentally understands exactly who Vladimir Putin is or exactly what he’s trying to do. So, these are the kinds of things that I think in detail you need to begin to understand.

Do not be afraid to offer ideas that draw opposition. Remember, if no one is against your idea, then your idea probably doesn’t do anything.

Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for.

They’re calling me. I’m getting nonstop e-mails and calls now from people that have been scammed by Donald Trump. And their stories are heartbreaking.

I owe a debt to America that I will never be able to repay.

I don’t really like labels in politics, but I will gladly accept the label of conservatism.

The idea that more taxes and more government spending is the best way to help hardworking middle class taxpayers – that’s an old idea that’s failed every time it’s been tried.

The appeal to the white man’s pocket has ever been more effectual than all the appeals ever made to his conscience.

Sacredness of human life! The world has never believed it! It has been with life that we settled our quarrels, won wives, gold and land, defended ideas, imposed religions.

I’ve never not been famous.

The surprise of the fight on the long day, of the experiments with the shorter one, has been not only that the business could stand it, but that the business thrived under it as surely as the man did.

Gradually I began to intellectually reject some of the delusionally influenced lines of thinking which had been characteristic of my orientation.

I’d always been fascinated by death, which sounds so morbid. Especially being a woman trying to make music, I think there’s a sense that you’re never young enough, or your career is going to end soon.

Consciousness is observing your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past.

Is not the whole world a vast house of assignation of which the filing system has been lost?
