I don't know that there is much the United States can do except work with the international community.

• Bad news isn't wine. It doesn't improve with age.
• Get mad, then get over it.
• It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into, 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'
• If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.
• I think whether you're having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.
• Fit no stereotypes. Don't chase the latest management fads. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team's mission.
• Just hit my 75th birthday, I'm feeling great!
• There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
• Don't let your ego get too close to your position, so that if your position gets shot down, your ego doesn't go with it.
• Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
