Quotes
- “In my many years as a Representative in Congress it is my observation that the district that is best represented is the district that is wise enough to select a man of energy, intelligence, and integrity and reelects him year after year. A man of this type and character serves more efficiently and effectively the longer he is returned by his people.”
- “Too many critics mistake the deliberations of the Congress for its decisions.”
- “Learn to disagree without being disagreeable.”
- “A jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build one.”
- “You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too”
- “You'll never get mixed up if you simply tell the truth. Then you don't have to remember what you have said, and you never forget what you have said.”
