“Our opposition will never understand the Democratic Party. Our Party is--to the unpracticed eyes of the old Republican Tories--a mysterious contraption that usually seems to be moving in a thousand directions. What they don't know is what hurts them. For all that movement in the Democratic Party is caused by the internal combustion of creative ferment, of ideas, of people vigorously committed to the proposition that change and social progress are not only to be desired; they are necessities of twentieth-century America.” PeopleKnowsIdeasSeemsEyeAmericaMovingSocialHurtPartyCreativeProgressCenturyMovementRepublicanThousandDemocraticCommittedMysteriousOppositionInternalsPropositionsTwentieth CenturyDemocratic PartyMoving InSocial ProgressCombustion Author:Hubert H.

“When I was secretary of state, I had to be responsible for getting a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia through the Senate. We needed, I think, 13 Republican votes to get to 67. I started working in the summer making just endless phone calls, meetings, bringing experts to talk to Republicans, and then we finally got it done at the end of the year 2010.
