I realize that advice is worth what it costs--that is, nothing.

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.

The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.

Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world.

Even when opportunity knocks, a man still has to get up off his seat and open the door.

For those to whom much is given, much is required. It is not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up. There is no substitute for victory.

Have a good plan, execute it violently, and do it today.

Once war is forced upon us, there is no alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War’s very object is victory-not prolonged indecision.

Shun darkness and evil vices for they that embrace them wear off with time!

I wanted to be a politician and a movie star. But I was born a writer. If you're born that, you can't change it. You're going to do it whether you want to or not.

I think women are used to stepping up and getting the job done when you need to.

Generosity isn't an act. It's a way of life.

If you're a social democrat, then you think it's cool to pay taxes. For me, tax is the finest expression for what politics really is.

No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.

There is a lot of silence in me, and I feel that silence is often better than spoken words.

Every hour has its end.
