I am a politician which means I am a liar and a crook. When I am not kissing babies I am stealing their lollypops.

More quotes by Tom Clancy
Life is about learning when you stop learning, you die.
Tom Clancy
Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not... Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it... Because the dream is within you. No one can take your dream away.
Tom Clancy
Literature is written material that, 100 years after the death of the author, is forced upon high school students.
Tom Clancy
Sunday was the normal day for the political awareness session at sea. Ordinarily Putin would have officiated, reading some Pravada editorials, followed by selected quotations from the works of Lenin and a discussion of the lessons to be learned from the readings. It is very much like a church service.
Tom Clancy
The point of life was to press on, to do the best you can, to make the world a better place.
Tom Clancy
The Good of the People was a laudable enough goal, but in denying a man's soul, an enduring part of his being, Marxism stripped away the foundation of human dignity and individual value. It also cast aside the objective measure of justice and ethics which, he decided, was the principal legacy of religion to civilized life.
Tom Clancy
That's the ultimate pornography. There's nothing more pornographic than glorifying war.
Tom Clancy
Wars are begun by frightened men.
Tom Clancy
America is the most inventive country in the world. Why? Because everybody has access to information. In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them.
Tom Clancy
In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them. They tried to classify everything.
Tom Clancy
I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.
Tom Clancy
Privacy and loneliness were the traditional luxuries accorded to a skipper.
Tom Clancy
When you have stopped learning you have begun to die.
Tom Clancy
The only real difference between a wise man and a fool, Moore knew, was that the wise man tended to make more serious mistakes—and only because no one trusted a fool with really crucial decisions only the wise had the opportunity to lose battles, or nations.
Tom Clancy
There is more to military units than hardware. There is the character of the unit's personnel: their strengths, experience, and knowledge, their ability to get along and work together amid the horrors of the battlefield. There is an almost undefinable quality. That quality is the Marine Corps' secret weapon. Their edge. That quality is their ethos.
Tom Clancy
Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change about you, but your dream will not. It will always be your link with the person, young and full of hope. If you hold on to it you may grow old but you will never be old. And that is the ultimate success
Tom Clancy
Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.
Tom Clancy
There are people in government who don't want other people to know what they know. It's just another example of elitism. And I spit on elitism. Show me an elitist, and I'll show you a loser.
Tom Clancy
Civilians listened to officers, which said a lot about the intelligence of civilians.
Tom Clancy
I think it's an intellectual duty for a person who lives in a free society to read material not only with which you agree, but with which you disagree. Because every so often somebody you think is wrong will actually turn out to be right.
Tom Clancy
