LAWTON M. CHILES JR.

Secrecy in government, in the public mind, becomes synonymous with deception in government.

We can't continue to spend where there isn't any money.

To be a successful state, we must nurture successful children.

Congressional power has not so much been usurped by the Presidency as given up to the Presidency by Congress.

We have entered the era of the “imperial” former presidency with lavish libraries, special staffs and benefits, around-the-clock Secret Service protection for life and other badges of privilege.

I didn't come to stay. I came to make a difference.

How can you raise the level of consciousness on this? How can you get the federal government to take the responsibility? Florida does not have a foreign policy. This is a federal policy or absence of federal policy. It's so clear that we're not being treated fairly. We have to come up with a solution. It hurts your head trying to figure out what to do.

The old he-coon walks just before the light of day.
