"When you see how the President makes political or policy decisions, you see who he is. The essence of the Presidency is decision-making."
"Any intervention, such as that of the German Reichsbank in the Spring of 1923, in which only a small part of the increasing note-expansion was recovered by the banks through the sale of foreign bills, would necessarily be unsuccessful. Led by the idea of opposing speculation, inflationistic governments have allowed themselves to become involved in measures whose meaning is hardly intelligible. Thus at one time the importation of notes, then their exportation, then again both their exportation and importation, have been prohibited. Exporters have been forbidden to sell for their own country's notes, importers to buy with them."
"I have always believed in dialogue and in nonviolence, and if you look at my background you will see that it has always been my policy to talk to everyone."

"How many times will this Congress waste time on an issue that a majority of Americans do not want?"
"We in this Congress have a choice. The American people have a right to exercise a choice on this issue, as to whether our men and women will continue to fight and die in a war based on deception and fantasy, or to start bringing the troops home."
