• "Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.“
• "Well, you know, the definition of second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.“

And government has a role in making them, at the end of 19 years, suited to be upright, trustworthy repositories of popular sovereignty.“

• "World War II was the last government program that really worked.“

• "Conservatives define themselves in terms of what they oppose.“
• "Voters don't decide issues, they decide who will decide issues.“
