I Think I Learned Pretty Early That

I Think I Learned Pretty Early That In The End, Its Only You. To An Extent, Youre All Alone.

My Childhood, Adolescence And High School Days Are Unusually Important. If There Has Ever Been A Time That I Developed A Uniqueness And Sense Of Humor And The Ability To Organize, It Was Then. In Those Early Days, I Developed The Skills That Gave Me A Certain Degree Of Success In American Politics.

Perception Is Reality.

Mostly I Am Sorry For The Way I Thought Of Other People. Like A Good General, I Had Treated Everyone Who Wasn't With Me As Against Me.

I Acquired More Wealth, Power, And Prestige Than Most. But You Can Acquire All You Want And Still Feel Empty. What Power Wouldn't I Trade For A Little More Time With My Family? What Price Wouldn't I Pay For An Evening With Friends? It Took A Deadly Illness To Put Me Eye To Eye With That Truth, But It Is A Truth That The Country, Caught Up In Its Ruthless Ambitions And Moral Decay, Can Learn On My Dime.
