“We're for freedom of speech everywhere. We're for freedom to worship everywhere. We're for freedom to learn... for everybody.”

“This guy's walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out... a friend jumps in the hole... he says, 'Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.'”

“There are two things in the world you never want to let people see how you make 'em: laws and sausages.”

“If we're going to walk into walls, I want us running into them, not walking.”

“The President's a good man. He's got a good heart. He doesn't hold a grudge. That's what he pays me for.”

“Victory is momentary; retaining power is eternal.”

“That's the cost of doing business. That's the cost of being President.”

“There's a new sheriff in town.”

“I don't need 'atta boy'. I need a plan.”

“We have to be bigger than the small stuff.”

“I serve at the pleasure of the President.”

“We're not in the world. We're in a bubble.”

“Decisions are made by those who show up.”

“You know, for a guy who's not very good at it, you sure do like to punish yourself.”
