Churchill, he is a great man. He is, of course, our enemy and has always been the enemy of Communism, but he is an enemy one must respect, an enemy one likes to have.

[N]obody knows the [U.S. government] system better than I do. (April 2016)

Boris Johnson, good man he is tough but he is smart. They call him Brittain Trump..They like me over there

He is the most intelligent, intellectually curious, and charming man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting

People like my Rt Hon Friend the Member for North East Somerset and Douglas Murray express mainstream, insightful and perfectly decent political views. People may disagree with them, but in no way are they extremists.

[About Pietro Grasso ] He is balanced, a statesman. He knows who I am. [...] Grasso is a good person, I am happy for his election as President of the Senate. [...] He is not a fanatical magistrate like Ingroia.

I have no doubt that Mr. Garland is a man of character and integrity.

Clifford Rutledge II was the perfect diplomat. He believed in little beyond his own career, some vague notions of international amity, and his personal ability to make it come about and to avoid war through the sheer force of his brilliance.

Credo Mutwa, the most knowledgeable man i have ever had the honor of knowing.

Mark is a true transatlanticist, a strong leader and a consensus-builder. I wish him every success as we continue to strengthen NATO. I know I am leaving NATO in good hands.

Barack is one of the smartest men we will see in our lifetime.

Barack Obama was always better at explaining the meaning of democracy than at fighting its opponents.

I would ask Americans to think deeply about who should be entrusted with the nation's nuclear codes. There is a clear choice. On one hand, there is Donald Trump. He admits he doesn't read or study deeply, thrives on Tweet-style communications, has a thin skin and a deep drive to avenge any slight, and has demonstrated very little knowledge of national security, foreign policy or the policies and strategies concerning nuclear weapons in particular. Educating someone like this once he became President could be a difficult — and extremely dangerous for our country. On the other hand is Hillary Clinton, former Senator and former Secretary of State, a person who does read and study deeply, communicates with nuance and sophistication born of years of experience in public life, has proven herself strong and steady under repeated personal attacks, and has become through her service and studies an expert on foreign and security policies, including the policies and strategies regarding nuclear weapons.

To know him is to love him... He's honest, high-minded, intelligent and—above all—independent. I have worked with him in government for years. There has never been any conflict between his official duties and his religious beliefs, I am confident there never will be!
