The joy of losing consists in this: Where there are no expectations, there is no disappointment.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Ron Paul is not going to be president, so we don't have to worry about who's going to be in his cabinet.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Trump's behavior is deeply disturbing but hardly surprising. His mercurial nature is not the product of a post-inaugural adder sting at Mar-a-Lago. It's been there all along. And the American electorate chose him nonetheless.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
I began my journalistic career on the day Ronald Reagan was sworn in. That's the day I showed up for work at 'The New Republic' magazine.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Ronald Reagan was so self-contained and impenetrable that his official biographer was practically driven mad trying to figure him out.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Chess: It's like alcohol. It's a drug. I have to control it, or it could overwhelm me. I have a regular Monday night game at my home, and I do play a little online.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
I believe in what I believe, and I think after all these years I've heard a lot of arguments, and I'm convinced by the superiority of the arguments that are made on the conservative side. I think that's a better way to run a society.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Obama is a leveler. He has come to narrow the divide between rich and poor. For him the ultimate social value is fairness. Imposing it upon the American social order is his mission.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
When a party is in opposition, it opposes. That's its job. But when it comes to power, it must govern. Easy rhetoric is over, the press of reality becomes irresistible. By necessity, it adopts some of the policies it had once denounced. And a new national consensus is born.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Every civilization is founded on sins - every single one. Dispossession, violence, appropriation. What distinguishes civilizations are the ones who rise above it.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Life and consciousness are the two great mysteries. Actually, their substrates are the inanimate. And how do you get from neurons shooting around in the brain to the thought that pops up in your head and mine? There's something deeply mysterious about that. And if you're not struck by the mystery, I think you haven't thought about it.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
I don't mind going into a liberal lion's den. That's where you test yourself.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
It is an old liberal theme that conservative ideas, being red in tooth and claw, cannot possibly emerge from any notion of the public good.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
There is a mystique about psychiatry that people think that you have some kind of a magical lens, you know, Superman's X-ray vision into the soul. One of the reasons I left psychiatry is that I didn't believe that.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
I envy people who write easily. I enjoy the process, but it's not easeful for me.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
There was once a philosopher who said, 'I don't believe in God, but I fear him greatly.' That's about where I am.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
A drone is a high-tech version of an old army and a musket. It ought to be used in Somalia to hunt bad guys, but not in America. I don't want to see it hovering over anybody's home.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
When the Cleveland Cavaliers lost the 2015 NBA Finals to Golden State, LeBron James sat motionless in the locker room, staring straight ahead, still wearing his game jersey, for 45 minutes after the final buzzer. Here was a guy immensely wealthy, widely admired, at the peak of his powers - yet stricken, inconsolable.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
This is a formidable enemy. To dismiss it as a bunch of 'cowards' perpetuating 'senseless acts of violence' is complacent nonsense. People willing to kill thousands of innocents while they kill themselves are not cowards. They are deadly vicious warriors and need to be treated as such.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Trump's relentless public humiliation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions was clearly intended to get him to resign.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
The Internet is a cauldron of anger every day, every year, election year or not, with unemployment at 10 percent or at two percent. It isn't exactly a good index of what's happening.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
There used to be a cruel joke that said Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be; Obama is the Brazil of today's politicians. He has obviously achieved nothing.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Ideas matter. Legislative proposals matter. Slick campaigns and dazzling speeches can work for a while, but the magic always wears off.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
I was a Great Society liberal on domestic issues. People ask me, 'How do you go from Walter Mondale to Fox News?' The answer is, 'I was young once.' End of answer.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Sometimes it's easy to go where the wind blows, but those that stand firmly planted are forces to be reckoned with.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
For every moment of triumph, there is an unequal and opposite feeling of despair. Take that iconic photograph of Muhammad Ali standing triumphantly over the prostrate, semiconscious wreckage of Sonny Liston. Great photo. Now think of Liston. Do the pleasure/pain calculus.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
Every two years the American politics industry fills the airwaves with the most virulent, scurrilous, wall-to-wall character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country - and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in its politicians.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life - full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
The normalization of Trump is one indicator that there may be less to the populist insurrection than imagined.
Quote by -Charles Krauthammer
I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking.
