My politics are of a practical kind - the integrity of the country, the supremacy of the Federal government, an honorable peace, or none at all.
I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn't have when I was young.
A statesman wants courage and a statesman wants vision; but believe me, after six months' experience, he wants first, second, third and all the time - patience.
