"Those who don't understand the mistakes of history, it is almost a cliche, but they are condemned to repeat them."

"I think Vermont is a place where you can develop your conscience. I think of the Senate as a place that should be the conscience of the Nation, and sometimes is."

"Nobody condones the crackdown on the people who are peacefully protesting in there, but I also don't--I don't condone the total rollback of the policy that we had under the Obama administration."

"I have a feeling you are going to need a lot more for humanitarian demining."
