Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.

Here's to our wives and girlfriends...may they never meet!

I don't want to belong to any club that will have me as one of its members

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

I find television very educating, every time somebody turns it on, I go into the other room and read a book.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.

Either this man is dead or my watch has stopped.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing... if you can fake that, you've got it made.

She got her good looks from her father. He's a plastic surgeon.

I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

Remember men you are fighting for the ladies honour, which is probably more than she ever did.

Paying alimony is like feeding hay to a dead horse.

Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

Marriage is the chief cause of divorce.
