• I've never been the battle guy that people perceive me as. I don't even want to battle. I take it to the people, man. I say what I got to say. You know what I'm saying? I'm like the guy that has the gun and shoots you when you try to rob him, you know? I don't really pull out the inches and try to shoot the brothers.

• Every time I got drunk, this girl named Nikki would show up. When I got drunk, I was just a different person. This is a totally different person than Lisa. When these two started to battle it out, I had to create a third person to come in and straighten the two of them out. Nina, my evil twin who came from within, who I blame my sins on. (satanic alter) All the problems I did have stemmed from what I was doing - I was creating all these different personalities.

• I saw in States' rights the only availing check upon the absolutism of the sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction but as the redemption of Democracy.... Therefore I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization, and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond more deeply than I rejoice over that which was saved at Waterloo.

• There will come a moment when the most urgent threats posed by the credit crisis have eased and the larger task before us will be to chart a direction for the economic steps ahead. This will be a dangerous moment. Behind the debates over future policy is a debate over history-a debate over the causes of our current situation. The battle for the past will determine the battle for the present. So it's crucial to get the history straight.

• Supongamos que alguien se sienta donde usted está sentado ahora mismo y me anuncia que es Napoleon Bonaparte.

Si lo hago, estoy entrando tácitamente en el juego que él es Napoleon Bonaparte.

• Así que Wesley Clark se presenta a presidente. Un tipo bastante asombroso. General de cuatro estrellas, primero de su clase en West Point, comandante supremo de la OTAN, vio combate en Vietnam, ganó la estrella de bronce, la estrella de plata, el corazón púrpura por ser herido en batalla. Mira, no soy un experto político, pero eso suena bastante bien al lado de atragantarse con un pretzel, caerse de un scooter y dejar caer al perro.

• Cada día las fuerzas del mal y las fuerzas del bien alistan nuevos reclutas. Cada día tomamos personalmente muchas decisiones que muestran la causa que apoyamos. El resultado final es seguro: las fuerzas del bien vencerán. Pero lo que queda por ver es dónde cada uno de nosotros personalmente, ahora y en el futuro, se situará en esta batalla - y qué tan alto nos mantendremos. ¿Seremos fieles a nuestros últimos días y cumpliremos nuestras misiones predestinadas?

• The fortunes of the African revolution are closely linked with the world-wide struggle against imperialism. It does not matter where the battle erupts, be it in Africa, Asia or Latin America, the master-mind and master-hand at work are the same. The oppressed and exploited people are striving for their freedom against exploitation and suppression. Ghana must not, Ghana cannot be neutral in the struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor.

• Todo eso que has oído de que Estados Unidos no quiere luchar, que quiere mantenerse al margen de la guerra, es un montón de estiércol de caballo. Tradicionalmente, a los americanos les encanta luchar. Todos los verdaderos americanos aman el aguijón de la batalla. Los estadounidenses juegan para ganar todo el tiempo. No me importaría un carajo un hombre que perdiera y se riera. Por eso los estadounidenses nunca han perdido -y nunca perderán- una guerra, porque la sola idea de perder les resulta odiosa.
