I think there's so much good in the worst of us, and so many of the worst of us get the best of us, that the rest of us aren't even worth talking about.
When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half.
The Senate is the only show in the world where the cash customers have to sit in the balcony.
I read a book twice as fast as anybody else. First, I read the beginning, and then I read the ending, and then I start in the middle and read toward whatever end I like best.
The President of today is just the postage stamp of tomorrow.
Some people are amazed at my brain, but really it's nothing.
This country needs room to grow and expand. In all my own newspapers I read frightful tales of the shameful atrocities being perpetrated on our Democratic minorities in Maine and Vermont. My patience is almost at an end, and if provoked much further I will place both countries under American protection, even if I have to send in my tourists to start trouble so I'll have to send in a force to restore order.
Education is worth a whole lot. Just think - with enough education and brains the average man would make a good lawyer - and so would the average lawyer.
Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.
My husband will never chase another woman. He's too fine, too decent, too old.
They laughed at Joan of Arc, but she went right ahead and built it.
I fully realize that every promise I make, the Republicans will double and the Democrats will redouble. They think this will make me vulnerable, but they don't know I have some tricks up my sleeve, along with a box of raisins to munch on while I'm waiting for the returns to come in.
I often put boiling water in the freezer. Then whenever I need boiling water,I simply defrost it.
Today millions of people are living who will never do it again. Millions are being born for the first time-and millions are doing nothing because it's the best offer they've had this week. ... It is for these people and many others that the Surprise Party is conceived and desecrated, founded upon the principle that everybody is just as good as anybody else, even though they aren't quite so smart.
