“Клвевтете, клеветете, от клеветата винаги остава нещо.”

“Il ne faut pas me dire deux fois les choses ; il ne faut pas me les dire deux fois.”

“Nowadays what isn't worth saying is sung.(Aujourd'hui ce qui ne vaut pas la peine d'être dit, on le chante.)”

“Without the freedom to criticize, there is no true praise.”

“La difficulté de réussir ne fait qu’ajouter à la nécessité d’entreprendre.”

“A great man is doing you enough good when he isn't doing you harm.”

“Only one thing to it: a strong stomach. The guts to gladhand a man you're going to stab in the back; pledge allegiance to principles you stomp on every day; righteously denounce some despot in the press and sell him arms under the table. The talent to whip up the voters' worst passions while you seem to call on their highest instincts, and the sense to stay wrapped in the flag. That's politics: I'll take the simple life.”
