I have a great faith in the strength and the resilience in the American people.

Memory is often less about the truth than about what we want it to be.

One of the things I learned, the easiest of lessons, was that the better you do your job, often going against conventional mores, the less popular you are likely to be.

What looked safe was not safe. What looked hard and unsafe was probably safer. Anyway, safe was somewhere else in the world.

Being a professional means doing your job on the days you don't want to do it

The most dangerous thing about power is to employ it where it is not applicable.

A staff can be no better than the man it serves.

Nixon, who spent much of his career attacking the press and saying he was a victim of the press, was in fact created by the press, in this case the L.A. Times.

The truth posed a great dilemma for a man who always had to be right, and yet, for all his grandeur, was often wrong.

Sometimes the best virtue learned on the battlefield is modesty.

This was the mark of an uncommon soldier, someone whose courage away from the battlefield was the same as that on it.

I think Obama has redefined the Democratic Party. It used to be the party of acid, amnesty, and abortion, and now it's surrender, socialism, and subprime mortgages.

If you can't lend a hand, then get out of the way.

When you make a company, you make a utopia. It's where you design your perfect world.

Justice lacking passion fails, betrays.

Better gray than garishness.

I keep telling people that the secret of their success is discovered in their daily agenda. What they do daily is going to determine their success.

Lightly given promises must meet with little trust.

Would the boy you were be proud of the man you are?

Suffering begins to dissolve when we can question the belief or the hope that there's anywhere to hide.

Geometry was the first exciting course I remember.
