There are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home.

• Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
• Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
• Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
• The best morale exist when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it's usually lousy.
• If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order.
• There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.
• When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.
• There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
• Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.
• This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
