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.

Nothing is more precious than independence and liberty.

It was patriotism, not communism, that inspired me.

Our mountains will always be, our rivers will always be, our people will always be, The American invaders defeated, we will rebuild our land ten times more beautiful.

Break every chain of mediocrity that confines you. You may have begun at a level below average, but dare to leave that side and paddle your steps to cross the river with honours.

The best way to manage anything is by making use of its own nature.

I've been around racing a fairly long time, but when it comes to the important issues, I'm happy to let others make the big decisions.

Unfortunately, moral beauty in art - like physical beauty in a person - is extremely perishable.

Necessity reforms the poor, and satiety reforms the rich.

I will have to make tactical decisions, technical decisions and emotional decisions. This time it was a tactical one.

Disappoint anyone… hell, disappoint everyone – but don’t ever disappoint yourself.
