Thank you, Mr. Dirksen...

"I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times."

"When I face an issue of great import that cleaves both constituents and colleagues, I always take the same approach. I engage in deep deliberation and quiet contemplation. I wait to the last available minute and then I always vote with the losers. Because, my friend, the winners never remember and the losers never forget."
