But I made one mistake which I would never repeat as a member of Congress when I was in Washington, and that was when I was elected I didn't go on trips because I was so afraid of having someone accuse me of taking junkets.

If I decide to be an idiot, then I'll be an idiot on my own accord.

If someone had told me in 1963 that one day I would be in Congress, I would have said, 'You're crazy. You don't know what you're talking about.'

I put myself and all the members of Congress in the same boat of things that could have been done better.

There is more selfishness and less principle among members of Congress than I had any conception of, before I became President of the U.S.

I was never supposed to make it to Congress. I was a staff person.

I said what I said before Congress because I meant every word of it.

It would be a foolish high representative who worked that way.

I never thought I would run for Congress. If you look back at a certain reality TV show, you know that.

I've had a tough time learning how to act like a congressman. Today I accidentally spent some of my own money.
