We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
From Stewart Udall
I don't remember a big fight between the Republicans and Democrats in the Nixon administration or President Gerald Ford and so on.
Washington's a cesspool of money.
Nixon was a good president on the environment. Gerald Ford was good.
The atomic weapons race and the secrecy surrounding it crushed American democracy. It induced us to conduct government according to lies. It distorted justice. It undermined American morality.
So many people of my generation who served in the government were prisoners of the Cold War culture, still are.
I'm trying to encourage my children's generation and the other ones coming to return to basic American principles.
Utah today remains a battleground for land-use policies.
It gives me satisfaction to help people.
I like the story about Henry David Thoreau, who, when he was on his death bed, his family sent for a minister. The minister said, 'Henry, have you made your peace with God?' Thoreau said, 'I didn't know we'd quarreled.'
