“Politics is like a pendulum. It swings back and forth.”

“My job is to tell the truth. My job is to find out what is going on and to tell the truth.”

“I wear a Mickey Mouse tie because it's the only way I can get any respect in this town.”

“He [Reagan] was the genuine article. What you saw was what you got.”

“It's better to be a has-been than a never-was.”

“Our job is to protect the President, not to coddle the press.”

“You don't tell the public everything. The public doesn't want to know everything.”

“Don't get into a pissing match with a skunk.”

“A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.”

“The press is always looking for a story, and if they can't find one, they'll make one up.”

“If you're explaining, you're losing.”

“Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise.”
