I love that woman. I love her more than sharks love blood.That's how you devour a whale. One bite at a time.The iron's in the fire. That's good. I like irons but I love fire.Do you know what I like about people? They stack so well.Such a waste of time. He chose money over power.What a martyr craves more than anything is a sword to fall on, so you sharpen the blade and hold it at just the right angle.I won't be a slave to anybody or anything you can order with a toll free number.The best thing I like about human beings is that they stack so neatly.Humility is their form of pride. It is their strength. It is their weakness and if you can humble yourself before them they will do anything you ask.Choosing money over power is a mistake almost everyone makes. Money is the big mansion in Saratoga that starts falling apart after ten years. Power is that old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who does not see the difference.Let's see if he stays with the herd or joins the pack. Looks like he opted for the herd.Love of Family. Most politicians are permanently chained to that slogan: Family values. But, when you cozy up to hookers and I find out I will make that hypocracy hurt.It is so refreshing to work with someone who will throw a saddle on a gift horse rather than look it in the mouth.You will be cleaved from the herd and left to die in the wilderness.He wants to rip my head off and peel it like an orange.Friends make the worst enemies.Competence is such an exotic bird in these woods that I appreciate it whenever I see it.I'm the only person who believes in you Peter . . . but maybe that's one too many.And if you do decide to take the cowards way out, cut along the tracks not across them.

I despise children. There I said it.Never slap a man while he's chewing tobacco.She wants to be an adult? Let her see how she flies when she leaves the nest.I have often found that bleeding hearts have an ironic fear of their own blood.Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.I have zero tolerance for betrayal which they will soon indelibly learn.I must not lose my resolve. I will march forward even if I have to do so alone.I hate being kept waiting in the dark . . . waiting . . . speculating . . . useless.It only takes ten seconds to crush a man's ambitions.Everything hinges on the next few minutes. All my months of planning. Every move I've made.I've used this same tactic myself. Once someone is exposed, they're at your mercy. She wants to hear me say the words.This trip may take longer than I thought.. . . and then he asked if I have no faith in God. I said you have it wrong. God has no faith in us.I've worked too hard to get in arms reach of the presidency.Of all the things I place in high regard, rules are not one of them.I pray to myself . . . for myself.Time will kill us all one day.If you want to earn my loyalty then you will have to offer yours in return.

The closer you are to the source, the higher your property value.5. There are two kinds of pain. The sort of pain that makes you strong, or useless pain. The sort of pain thats only suffering. I have no patience for useless things.6. Theres no better way to overpower a trickle of doubt than with a flood of naked truth.7. Democracy is so overrated.8. Proximity to power deludes some into thinking they wield it.9. For those of us climbing to the top of the food chain, there can be no mercy. There is but one rule: hunt or be hunted.10. The road to power is paved with hypocrisy, and casualties.11. The nature of promises, Linda, is that they remain immune to changing circumstances.12. A great man once said, everything is about sex. Except sex. Sex is about power.13. From this moment on you are a rock. You absorb nothing, you say nothing, and nothing breaks you.14. Ive always loathed the necessity of sleep. Like death, it puts even the most powerful men on their backs.15. The best thing about human beings is that they stack so neatly.
