Famous quotes containing the words david and/or gergen:

    I trust that some may be as near and dear to Buddha, or Christ, or Swedenborg, who are without the pale of their churches.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.
    —David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
