I think it's a dangerous thing for anyone to have power over other people.

Malicious lying is usually a matter of need, but often the cruelest things we say are the truth.

If society is a ship, it appears to many to be firmly at anchor in moral waters. Perhaps this isn't so.

I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven't killed a fish that I've caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it.

If my house was on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down. We either save this country or we do not.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
