I only follow one party: the Vietnamese Party.

Everything depends on the Americans. If they want to make war for 20 years then we shall make war for 20 years. If they want to make peace, we shall make peace and invite them to tea afterwards.

Our resistance will be long and painful, but whatever the sacrifices, however long the struggle, we shall fight to the end, until Vietnam is fully independent and reunified.

It is better to sacrifice everything than to live in slavery!

Remember that the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and their stability.

You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win.

Nothing is more precious than independence and liberty.

We have a secret weapon...it is called Nationalism

The Vietnamese people deeply love independence, freedom and peace. But in the face of United States aggression they have risen up, united as one man.

Love other human beings as you would love yourself.

It was patriotism, not communism, that inspired me.

I'm like a circus standing on two legs.

If I agree to dispose of any part of our land to the white people I would feel guilty of taking food away from our children's mouths, and I do not wish to be that mean.

The trouble with most Englishwomen is that they will dress as if they had been a mouse in a previous incarnation... they do not want to attract attention.

Who had the bigger burden? The one who had to watch the other person endure or the one who endured?

Hell, I'm going to play pro basketball. I'm going to maybe be famous. I'm going to write books.

Everybody was inspired by the drawings and the wind tunnels and the race cars - but no one wanted to work with me because I had a reputation for being an aerodynamic dictator!

There is often grace in silence. But there is always power in understanding.

If I wasn't hard, I wouldn't be alive. If I couldn't ever be gentle, I wouldn't deserve to be alive.

Mercy to him that shows it, is the rule.
