Give a member of Congress a junket and a mimeograph machine and he thinks he is secretary of state.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Probably the most useful thing I can do as secretary of state is to assist the president in adapting and renewing the transnational institutions that were created after World War II.
I think any man in business would be foolish to fool around with his secretary. If it's somebody else's secretary, fine.
Nobody is going to delegate a lot of power to a secretary that they can't control.
We need a president who realizes that there's no government business in show business.
The best way for someone to govern is to set an example.
Most members of Congress are politicians. They're bores.
He that would govern others, first should be Master of himself.
You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think.
Now I know what a statesman is; he's a dead politician. We need more statesmen.
In the Congress, for every small thing, you have to consult the general secretaries.
