“Sometimes if I tell people, ‘I’m afraid that I’m really a fraud,’ or ‘I have a lot of self-doubt,’ they go.”

There’s plenty of room for humor in politics, God knows, but it’s a serious business.

Veterans report that service dogs help break their isolation. People will often avert their eyes when they see a wounded veteran.

The reason I wrote political satire was because I thought it – politics – was important… that public policy was important. Then I transitioned into books, then into radio.

The Internet can only work if it’s a truly level playing field. Small businesses should have the same ability to reach customers as powerful corporations.

Google might be doping the horses.

My dad didn’t graduate from high school, ended up being a printing salesman, probably never made more than $8,000 a year.

But adult love means you’re not in denial, and you want the loved one to be the best they can be.

That’s bad news for everyone else – and for our democracy itself.

Net neutrality isn’t a government takeover of the Internet, as many of my Republican colleagues have alleged.

We lived in a two-bedroom, one-bath house in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. We weren’t rich – but we felt secure.

National security laws must protect national security. But they must also protect the public trust and preserve the ability of an informed electorate to hold its government to account.

The government must give proper weight to both keeping America safe from terrorists and protecting Americans’ privacy.

They talked about unreasonable searches and seizures, about keeping the government out of their bedrooms.

He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks.

If you hear, day after day, liberals are rooting against armed forces.

During Vietnam, I was in college, enjoying my student deferment. The government wisely felt that, in my case, military service was less important than completing my studies to prepare me for my chosen career: comedian.

The first precept was never to accept a thing as true until I knew it as such without a single doubt

For I found myself embarrassed with so many doubts and errors that it seemed to me that the effort to instruct myself had no effect other than the increasing discovery of my own ignorance

Will you tell yourself it’s not true, when those around you all doubt? Will you believe in the power? Cast your net, pay your debt and to yourself be devout.

I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.

But what then am I? A thing that thinks. What is that? A thing that doubts, understand, affirms, denies, wills, refuses, and that also imagines and senses.

Who will you bring into battle? Who will blindly follow your lead? No questions asked, no hesitation. Have your back regardless, all doubts paid no heed.

I always inspired by the doubt of being an average person. 

You are way too powerful to keep doubting yourself.
