Get all the fools on your side and you can be elected to anything.

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

When I got into politics, it was a shock. People promise all sorts of things and then never deliver.

When people campaign for positions, they promise people all kinds of things.

I promise that as a president elected in a direct popular vote, I will try to be the voice of all citizens.

Promising something that seems popular at the time that you know you're never going to deliver - that's the kind of cynical politics that I don't want any part of.

Making promises and then saddling yourself with a political system and a political union that means that you cannot deliver those promises, I fear, doesn't contribute to an atmosphere of trust and confidence in politics.

Learn the Constitution. Then when someone wants to be elected, hold their feet to the fire and make them follow it because that's what we need to get back to. It works so well when we follow it.

The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

Hurry, conscious younger people! Get to power quickly so political decisions can be based on the greater good for all rather than the greater gain for few. Hurry, before it is too late!
