...a couple from the Gipper:
"Politics I supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."
"Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15."
"Let it show on the record that when the American people cried out for economic help, Jimmy Carter took refuge behind a dictionary. Well, if it's a definition he wants, I'll give him one. A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his. "

Great Jefferson quotes, Bob...he and I share an alma mater, so I have an affinity for his quotes.
"[T]ruth is great and will prevail if left to herself; that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate; errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them."
-Thomas Jefferson

Terp.. I agree, Jefferson was an important genius and forefather for our country.

A man I admire is a Professor at my Alma-Mater(L.S.U.). James Carville.
Here's a couple of his:"Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to.”"I was against gay marriage until I realized I didn't have to get one.""Sometimes the right thing gets done for the wrong reason and sometimes, unfortunately, the wrong thing gets done for the right reason." - "Everyone has to get knocked-down every once-in-a-while, otherwise you'll never learn how to get-back-up!
