I don't see how a socialist government can tolerate hunting on horseback. The people who do this are snobs; they're very well-to-do.
My big break was back in the third grade playing the third monkey in 'Horton Hears a Who.'
Then came the hostage crisis during which Carter did nothing to rattle the ayatollahs who hung tough until Ronald Reagan was inaugurated, when they suddenly backed down.
The saddest moment as Prime Minister is writing letters to families who have lost loved ones in Afghanistan or those who we have tried to help in hostage situations but it hasn't worked out.
Those who want to cut Social Security are prepared to take hostages, manufacture crises, and use scare tactics to undermine the retirement security of Americans.
Few enjoy noisy overcrowded functions. But they are a gesture of goodwill on the part of host or hostess, and also on the part of guests who submit to them.
People who listen to NPR are forever thanking the hosts for 'sharing,' or 'initiating a dialogue,' or 'taking the time to explain this very important issue.'
I hire a lot of hosts, reporters, producers, and I hire people who care about the news.
So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.
To put it rather bluntly, I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel.
I'm sick of seeing the immigrants in the hotels and the Italians who sleep in cars. This is the racist country.
My God is a God who wants me to have things. He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block.
Maybe I'm just as bad as my critics who hound me.
Everyone who worked on 'The Fox and the Hound' is important. We're all lucky to be in a business that we love.
I don't listen to anybody's full record anymore and when I did, I don't think I listened to the whole record. I'm sorry, and I don't care who it is, if it's the Beatles, I can't listen to an hour and a half of anybody straight so I guess that's just my personal preference.
He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.
If we lost, then who won? Did Al Qaida win? When on the floor of the House of Representatives they cheer - they cheer - when they pass a withdrawal motion that is a certain date for surrender, what were they cheering? Surrender? Defeat?
If House Republicans can't get border security right, who will trust them on the other bills?
The Democratic chairman doesn't need to be a household name. Most people didn't know who Ron Brown was when he was chairman of the Democratic Party, but he put the party in a position where Bill Clinton could come in and he had a solid base to run from.
The economy of a novelist is a little like that of a careful housewife who is unwilling to throw away anything that might perhaps serve its turn.
