that's real power.”

“I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you.”

“Your children don't have to fear you to respect you.”

“You have to pick the places you don't walk away from.”

“If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.”

“There's just one rule for politicians all over the world: Don't say in Power what you say in Opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible.”
