But to hear Kennedy when he was grandstanding in front of the McClellan Committee you might have thought I was making as much out of the pension fund as the Kennedys made out of selling whiskey. ~ Jimmy Hoffa
Mcclellan quotes by Jimmy Hoffa
At what point have you ever gotten the impression that there are good people in the royal cabal?"
"You've given me that impression. Yes. You have."
"Well, get past it. Because I'm not a good man. Not in the slightest. I just pay my debts. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
God' is a funny word, it implies omnipotence and omniscience. Let me assure, I am neither. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
There was still a bit of sunshine in the sky, not that it mattered. High treetops and reaching branches entombed us from above in a dark coffin. It was still in the afternoon. We had time to gather things together for camp, but the choked rays that permeated the living casket were sputtering their last bits of life.

- Tyrus Savage narration from ORRLETH, Volume One of the Orrleth Young Adult Fantasy Paranormal Series ~ Thomas McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Thomas McClellan

Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Isn't it my right to talk and say what I want to? ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
I think it reflects the reality on the ground, that this was an important milestone that's been achieved by the Iraqi people, and it's a significant development. It's a real hopeful moment for democracy in Iraq. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Critics have stepped up their attacks on the President for authorizing the National Security Agency to listen to international communications of known al Qaeda members or affiliated terrorists during a time of war. The American people expect their leaders to stay a step ahead of the enemy, and the National Security Agency authorization is a critical tool in the War on Terror that saves lives and protects civil liberties at the same time. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Because what a temporary worker program would do is help relieve pressure on the border. It will allow our law enforcement officials and Border Patrol agents to focus on those who are coming here for the wrong reasons, the criminals and the drug dealers and the terrorists. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Let the Kez come," Tamas roared. "Let them send their greatest generals after us. Let them stack the odds against us. Let them come upon us with all their fury, because these hounds at our heels will soon know we are lions! ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
Fancy has nothing to do with a good sword. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
The moment for action has arrived, and I know that I can trust in you to save our country. ~ George B. McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by George B. McClellan
I still like and admire George W. Bush. I consider him a fundamentally decent person, and I do not believe he or his White House deliberately or consciously sought to deceive the American people. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
When it comes to matters of the heart, rules don't matter. ~ Rachel McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Rachel McClellan
It is regrettable that Senator Kennedy has chosen Veteran's Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war. It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did about Saddam Hussein. If America were to follow Senator Kennedy's foreign policy, Saddam Hussein would not only still be in power, he would be oppressing and occupying Kuwait. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
The lockpick gaped up at Adamat from his knees. "You're making enough noise, you might as well have knocked on the front door," Adamat said. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
He was a longtime street thug who had just enough ruthlessness to rise to legitimate businesses and not quite enough intelligence to leave his dark life behind him. Aptly suited as a banker. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
As a Texas loyalist who followed Bush to Washington with great hope and personal affection and as a proud member of his administration, I was all too ready to give him and his highly experienced foreign policy advisers the benefit of the doubt on Iraq. Unfortunately, subsequent events have showed that our willingness to trust the judgment of Bush and his team was misplaced. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
When I was knowingly misled but only learned that much later, that's really when I started to become disillusioned at the White House. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
When words I uttered, believing them to be true, were exposed as false, I was constrained by my duties and loyalty to the President and unable to comment. But I promised reporters and the public that I would someday tell the whole story of what I knew. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
The Iraq war was not necessary. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
The American Civil War lays out the stark contrast: the greatest generals in war are often abundant failures during peacetime, and vice versa. McClellan and Sherman are the sharpest contrasts; but there is also Grant the peacetime drunkard, and Stonewall Jackson the barely tolerable military professor. Only Lee stands out as effective in both peace and war (and even he had a mentally unstable father, and himself may have been dysthymic in his general personality). This conflict reflects, I think, the different psychological qualities of leadership needed in different phases of human activity, peace and war being the two extremes. ~ S. Nassir Ghaemi
Mcclellan quotes by S. Nassir Ghaemi
What I hear about the book does not sound like the Scott McClellan I knew for two years. I can say, without fear of contradiction, that I knew Scott better than any other White House correspondent or Washington reporter. ~ Jeff Gannon
Mcclellan quotes by Jeff Gannon
I will not move my army until I am absolutely ready. ~ George B. McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by George B. McClellan
I turned on Fox News and jumped when I saw that they had one of those things in their studio. "Are you people crazy?" I screamed at the television. "Get out of there. Somebody shoot it!" Then I realized I was watching Special Report and had mistaken Charles Krauthammer for a zombie. ~ Ian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Ian McClellan
I believe in working together to solve the problems we've got. And we need to get rid of the venom in the political atmosphere in D.C. It's a poisonous atmosphere. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Nicky turned and bolted. He'd only had about a thirty foot head start and a few were closing ground on him quickly. He cursed his hundred-dollar shoes and his vanity. The shoes looked great, but were definitely not made for running, nor was the suit he was wearing. He vowed that if he made it out of there alive, he'd only wear sneakers and track suits for the rest of his days. Of course, I'll probably be laughed out of the mob, but I don't care at this point. ~ Ian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Ian McClellan
There is nothing that will make a man more desperate and more capable of violence than endangering his family. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
For Dad For never being hesitant that I'd make it this far. Even when you should have been. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
The age of kings is dead, Adamat, and I have killed it. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
I think if you'd had television cameras at Gettysburg, this would be two nations today. People would not have put up with that carnage if they saw it up close. We'd have elected McClellan in 1864. ~ George Will
Mcclellan quotes by George Will
The clear suggestion is that there ought not to be civilian control of the military. What have callow noncombatants giving brisk orders to grizzled soldiers? How could Lincoln have fired the slavery-loving Gen. George B. McClellan, or Truman dismissed the glorious Douglas MacArthur? ~ Christopher Hitchens
Mcclellan quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Sending armies to McClellan is like shoveling fleas across a barnyard, not half of them get there. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Mcclellan quotes by Abraham Lincoln
I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
I think that there's a tendency in this town to try to selectively pick snapshots when the broader reality is that we have a record of results and that we're getting things done for the American people. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
It is not given to our weak intellects to understand the steps of Providence as they occur: we comprehend them only as we look back upon them in the far-distant past. ~ George B. McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by George B. McClellan
Here is a paper with which, if I cannot whip Bobbie Lee, I will be willing to go home! ~ George B. McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by George B. McClellan
He had an honest face, though Adamat found that honest faces were almost always deceptive. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
Promise me."
"No."
Etan's eyes were glassy with tears. "Coward. If I were dying, you'd promise me. Because you wouldn't have to answer to me then. But I'm not dying, and you won't promise it. Bloody coward. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
Styke's people were outnumbered two to one. The Dynize, he decided, should have brought more men. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian  McClellan
If I gave McClellan all the men he asked for, they could not find room to lie down; they'd have to sleep standing up. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Mcclellan quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Tamas had heard that every genius was equal parts madness. He ~ Brian McClellan

As far as military necessity will permit, religiously respect the constitutional rights of all. ~ George B. McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by George B. McClellan
I pretended I was a Kez colonel pretending to be an Adran colonel," Olem said. "It was disturbingly easy."
"They didn't ask for papers or proof?"
"In this rain?" Olem gestured at the downpour. "You don't understand an enlisted man, sir. Nobody asks for bloody papers in this kind of weather. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
Larry broke my morose train of thought with his laughter. "Welcome to America," he said, "where even our zombie epidemic has an obesity epidemic. ~ Ian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Ian McClellan
Saddam Hussein is being treated the exact opposite of the way his regime treated those he imprisoned and tortured simply for expressing their opinions. And so I reject that. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Well I think that you have to be open and honest in order to learn from your mistakes and be able to correct them in the future to understand what would happen to take things off course. And if we don't address these issues openly and honestly then we don't learn. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Stand by General Burnside as you have stood by me and all will be well. ~ George B. McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by George B. McClellan
My Dear McClellan, if you don't want to use the army I should like to borrow it for a while. Yours respectfully. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Mcclellan quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Ponder the affirmative. ~ Loretta Boyer McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Loretta Boyer McClellan
Even if you are a pompous ass with no respect for authority, you're worth fifty men, and I mean to see you in my army."
"That was an incredibly backhanded compliment."
"I meant every word. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
As press secretary, I spent countless hours defending the administration from the podium in the White House briefing room. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
According to Washington insiders, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan could be the next official to leave the Bush administration. McClellan says he'd like to spend more time lying for his family ~ Amy Poehler
Mcclellan quotes by Amy Poehler
I have the feeling you would much rather be on the front than in Adopest trying to win over the snakes in politics. At least here you're allowed to shoot your enemies. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
You know," Taniel said, "we could have kept firing after they sounded the retreat. Would have wiped out thousands on the mountainside. The Kez did that to us in Fatrasta a few times."
Gavril snorted angrily. "War has to have some decorum. Otherwise it's back to the Bleakening for all of us, and Kresimir be damned. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
When this sad war is over we will all return to our homes, and feel that we can ask no higher honor than the proud consciousness that we belonged to the Army of the Potomac. ~ George B. McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by George B. McClellan
My criticisms are extremely mild in comparison to the tone of some of the questions fired in my direction. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
A free and prosperous Iraq will be a major blow to the terrorists and their desire to establish a safe haven in Iraq where they can plan and plot attacks. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Roughly 1 in 6 Americans have Irish blood. I'd say it's probably safe to assume that the average Irish-American who only comes out on St. Patrick's Day has no idea of the sort of economic powerhouse Ireland has become. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
A king's pride doesn't fill the people's bellies. ~ Brian McClellan

I have had a career in public service. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
I'm done with my job. It was my job to be the advocate and spokesman for the President of the United States. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Mixed with this frustration was the suspicion that Northern lives were being wasted because of mismanagement and political meddling, a suspicion reinforced by Lincoln's firing of McClellan, who, despite his poor showing in the field, was widely respected as a military professional. These are the views reflected in Holmes's letter. They were Copperhead views, but one did not need to be a Democrat in the fall of 1862 to share them. ~ Louis Menand
Mcclellan quotes by Louis Menand
Steve McClellan has drawn on an insider's lifetime view of how Wall Street really works to produce a practical and entertaining book of advice for investors.

Mcclellan quotes by Charles O. Rossotti

Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
I'm an investigator, my dear. Other people's business is my business. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
Anybody will do for you, but not for me. I must have somebody. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Mcclellan quotes by Abraham Lincoln
As I have heard Bush say, only a wartime president is likely to achieve greatness, in part because the epochal upheavals of war provide the opportunity for transformative change of the kind Bush hoped to achieve. In Iraq, Bush saw his opportunity to create a legacy of greatness. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
First rule of bathing," Gavril said. "If you can't smell yourself anymore, it's time to wash. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan
My wife and I look for ways to always support the troops, including sending care packages regularly to them. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
I believed it had been long enough that Kresimir would never return. I believed it was time for change. I thought all of Rozalia's concerns were foolish, and that Julene was living in the past. I believed we were alone."
"My people have never been alone," Mihali said. "The others may have left. I did not. ~ Brian McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Brian McClellan

Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
We have to deal with reality. The reality is, we have a number a very high number of illegal immigrants in this country. They're meeting an important economic need. And we are a nation of laws, and we're a nation of immigrants. And if we're going to address the real threats, then we need to have a temporary worker program to allow our Border Patrol agents to focus on the criminals and the thugs and the terrorists and the traffickers and smugglers that are trying to come into this country illegally. ~ Scott McClellan
Mcclellan quotes by Scott McClellan
Expecting defeat will surely bring it ~ Brian McClellan
