Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.

There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all.

I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.

More than ever before, Americans are suffering from back problems: back taxes, back rent, back auto payments.

I have never criticised the Thai government. I was only invited there to share my experiences of being a young man who took part in the umbrella movement. And this led to me being detained as soon as I stepped off the plane and being treated in a way that goes completely against human rights and the law.

Someday I hope Americans will not believe that anyone had to spend his or her days fighting for limited government because everyone they know wants maximum freedom and minimum statism.

I have to give moral support to my supporters. If I'm not going to fight anymore, that might hurt the feelings of my supporters. They are fighting for democracy. They are fighting for the rule of law.

Some African leaders actually dare to suggest that democracy is a concept alien to traditional African society. This is one of the most impudent political blasphemies I can think of.
