I seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day

There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves

What we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president

Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but to stand there and take it

The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands

I'm a powerful S.O.B., you know that?

Poverty must not be a bar to learning and learning must offer an escape from poverty

This administration here and now declares unconditional war on poverty

When I was young, poverty was so common that we didn't know it had a name

Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time
