Paul O'Neill

“I pray daily... for peace.”

“I used some vivid language that, if I could take it back, I'd take it back. It's not my intention to be personally critical of the President or of anyone else.”

“This meeting was like many of the meetings that I would go to over the course of two years. The only way I can describe it is that, well, the president is like a blind man in a roomful of deaf people. There is no discernible connection.”

“Our intention is to give people, however you might stylize it, a tax cut or a pay raise.”

“I'm not willing to say I want to return to private life because I'm too old to begin telling lies now.”
