I'm absolutely confident that everybody that's been put to death is two things: One, they're guilty of the crime charged, and, secondly, they had full access to our courts, both state and federal.
We're not into nation-building. We're into justice.
You cannot lead America to a positive tomorrow with revenge on one's mind. Revenge is so incredibly negative.
I don't watch the nightly newscasts on TV . . . nor do I watch the endless hours of people giving their opinion about things. I don't read the editorial pages; I don't read the columnists. It can be a frustrating experience to pay attention to somebody's false opinion.
I'm not a textbook player. I'm a gut player.
I was taught that we should look after the beam in our own eye before searching for the mote in someone else's.
The worst of Nature brings out the best in our fellow human beings.
Evil knows no holiday.
It is human choices that move events.
I've been trying to tame our press corps ever since I got into politics, and I've failed miserably. They get to express their opinions sometimes in the form of news.

One of these immigrants was a poet-writer named Ameen Rihani. Gazing at her lamp held high, he wondered whether her sister might be erected in the lands of his Arab forefathers. Here is how he put it: "When will you turn your face toward the East, oh Liberty?"
Always chew on your pretzels before you swallow.
If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us.
