Quote

My aim was never to seek a force and take power.

I never had a political power base.

I don't seek power and do not run around.

Politics is not about power.

I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.

I really don't have tremendous political ambition. I have policy ambition.

Anyone who seeks power wants absolute power.

To deny we need and want power is to deny that we hope to be effective.

I'm not into power for the sake of it.

My goal was never to get re-elected.
