“I think it’s OK to talk about your military service, but there’s a fine line between, you know, too much and just about right.”

It’s a lot more fun winning. It hurts to lose…

Inspiration does not come like a blot, nor is it kinetic energy striving, but it comes to us slowly and quietly all the time.

Having a disability changes your whole life, not just your attitude.

You read what Disraeli had to say. I don’t remember what he said. He said something. He’s no longer with us.

I’m not a Gingrich fan. He’s just difficult to work with. It’s either Newt’s way or the highway.

If something happened along the route and you had to leave your children with Bob Dole or Bill Clinton, I think you would probably leave them with Bob Dole.

I think the voters believe that when you become president of the United States, you have a higher obligation and a higher standard than anybody in the world. And if you violate that standard, they’re going to remember it on election day.

President Obama came to visit me in the hospital. He said, ‘I wish you were still in the Senate; I need your help.’ I’m not certain I can help on everything. Maybe some things.

When these political action committees give money, they expect something in return other than good government.

There they are. See no evil, hear no evil, and…evil.

I lost in ’96, in case the word hadn’t trickled out, and so I made a few commercials.

I don’t know how many people run for vice president and president and lose both.

The difference between possible and impossible is hard work and commitment.

Yet when the blood of the sons of immigrants and the grandsons of slaves fell on foreign fields, it was American blood.

I remember, the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare, that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never plotted out a line. My answer hath been, would he had blotted a thousand.

Everything is roughness, except for the circles. How many circles are there in nature? Very, very few. The straight lines. Very shapes are very, very smooth. But geometry had laid them aside because they were too complicated.

I always have problems with seeing how our new stuff relates to our old stuff – I’m better at seeing long lines in other people’s music than in my own.

The straight line has a property of self-similarity. Each piece of the straight line is the same as the whole line when used to a big or small extent.

I loved English literature – if didn’t it would have been hard – but I had to learn it myself. I remembered ways to repeat words, to put more emphasis on certain lines.

I always assumed scientists were free to ask any question, pursue any line of inquiry without fear or reprisal.

Welcome to prekindergarten! You will not die if you discover that there are more lines out there than just your own. In fact, you’ll discover that you will have an advantage if you know more of them!

Lines are very difficult to learn.
