I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
Barry Goldwater
You cannot succeed in this effort if you`re not willing to recognize the enormous contribution the Iraqis are increasingly making to their own future.
Dick Cheney
Words will not be able to ever express how sorry I am for this, and I have profound regret and sorrow for the multitude of mistakes and harm I have caused.
Jack Abramoff
When George Bush asked me to sign on, it obviously wasn`t because he was worried about carrying Wyoming. We got 70 percent of the vote in Wyoming, although those three electoral votes turned out to be pretty important last time around.
Dick Cheney
What will we do in a globalised world? All human beings are equal, so they have the same right to have the same lifestyle-the same social security, jobs, education.
Joschka Fischer
What we`re hearing from everyone is that they understand that Saddam Hussein is a threat. They understand that he`s been a threat for a long time.
Condoleezza Rice
What it means is that a lot of communities were working from a very low base. They either had very small grants the prior year or even no grants.
Michael Chertoff
Well, there`s been plenty of ultimatums, and one thing that we better be very clear is that we can`t continue to have the kind of defiance of the United Nations, the defiance of the international community that we`ve had.
Condoleezza Rice
Well, I`m not excusing the fact that planning and preparedness was not where it should be. We`ve known for 20 years about this hurricane, this possibility of this kind of hurricane.
Michael Chertoff
Well, I think first of all there was a failure to have real, clear information at our disposal. There was a real lack of situational awareness. We didn`t have the capabilities on the ground to give us real-time, accurate assessments of the physical condit...
Michael Chertoff
Well, I said in July before Katrina that we had a lot more work to do in preparedness. And I think that was borne out, obviously, a month later.
Michael Chertoff
Well, I mean, Congress did originally set the formula for the state grants, and they guaranteed every state a minimum formula. So that was a congressional decision.
Michael Chertoff
We`ve done it in intelligence sharing and certain elements of security. There were parts of the department, in fact, that worked very well in Katrina, like the Coast Guard and TSA.
Michael Chertoff
We`ve certainly learned a lot of lessons from Katrina, from Rita. Rita was better than Katrina. We`re doing a better job planning. We`re closer - more closely aligned with the Department of Defense. These things would be positive things if we were to have...
Michael Chertoff
We`ve been a country that`s been fortunate to be protected by two oceans, to not have serious attacks on our territory for most of our history. And we were unfortunately reminded in a very devastating way of our vulnerability.
Condoleezza Rice
We`re in a new world. We`re in a world in which the possibility of terrorism, married up with technology, could make us very, very sorry that we didn`t act.
Condoleezza Rice
We will seek to implement specific changes in the manufacturing and distribution practices to promote more responsibility and accountability

A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.
