"We know we need to reform and it needs to be done in a reasonable way."

"In politics, if a law proves to be efficacious, we repeal it."

"I would also like to remind everyone that Dr. King called to our attention that on some questions we have to do that which is neither safe nor politic nor popular."

"Please permit me to extend to Mr. Cordray my best wishes, and let him know that I am looking forward to a future meeting with him."
