It’s great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out, but I’m not complaining,… Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven’t done what they wanted with their lives." "After the desperate years of their own war, after six years of repression inside Spain and six years of horror in exile, these people remain intact in spirit.

"And though various organizations in America and England collected money and sent food parcels to these refugees, nothing was ever received by the Spanish."

The President has lost the trust of the American people when it comes to the environment."― Jim Jeffords
