I would rather be a person who struggled there than someone who had a great, easy time and then got out in the world and was like, "Wait a minute, I didn't get voted class president? What's going on?" You know, "popular" doesn't necessarily correlate to anything. "Popular" still has to get up at 7:00 in the morning and go to work and do something worthy too. There's no edge, really, that you get from being whatever was popular in school.

George H. W. Bush

Bill Maher

One cannot always be sure of the truth of what one hears if he happens to be President of the United States.

William Howard Taft

[On George W. Bush:] How is it possible that the president is off on vacation and the vice president is, too? Not that it matters that much if the president is on vacation; on some level, the president is always on vacation.

Nora Ephron

In rap, as in most popular lyrics, a very low standard is set for rhyme; but this was not always the case with popular music.

James Fenton

If you can't be president - if you cannot stand up and represent Americans, you should not be president.

President Trump is a brand. President Trump is more popular than Republicans in Congress among Republicans.
