“All men who run for presidency of the United States are amateurs; there is no way of becoming a professional at it, and all of them, win or lose, are forever altered in spirit of character by the ordeal.”

“In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs”

“When they ask me to become president of the United States I'm going to say, "Except for Washington D.C.”

“Usually the amateur is defined as an immature state of the artist: someone who cannot — or will not — achieve the mastery of a profession.
