I know I should have never got into politics. And I've learned my lesson. No more politics.

I don't play golf with presidents.

You don't go into politics unless you want to win.

Politics is about winning. If you don't win, you don't get to put your principles into practice. Therefore, find a way to win, or sit the battle out.

But presidents matter. That's one of the biggest lessons I learned being in the White House.

There would be nothing to get me to run for president. I don't even understand how anyone would want that job at all. Although I would be able to play golf which I don't seem to have time now.

Now personally, I think the president should golf every day and never have a press conference. I want the leader of the free world to be as stress-free as possible. And if golf helps fade the psychic heat from the job, by all means tee it up often, Mr. President.

Once you've built the big machinery of political power, remember you won't always be the one to run it.

The difference in golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie.

You can play golf with liberals, be neighbors with them, go out to dinner. I just don't want them in power.
