"I have often thought that the best way to get a man to do something is to tell him that he can't do it."

"My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference."

"It is a terrible thing to have to order the use of a weapon like that. But I had to do it. And I would do it again."

"I have learned that it is a great mistake to try to please everybody."

"I don't think I ever told a lie in my life, except on the golf course."
