Don't just count your days, make your days count.

Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?

The great leaders that I have worked with are people who have a good sense of empathy with other people. They can walk a factory floor, or walk through a battalion and smell if there's something wrong.

When you help the poorest in the world, you start to move them up an economic and social ladder, and they're not going to be moving toward violence or terrorism of the kind that we worry about.

I think you can improve on that natural ability with training and exposure to great leaders of the past and to management theories.

The United States is looking at a way to launch peace with a disarmed Iraq. And so we are studying the declaration that Iraq submitted. Other members of the security council are studying the declaration, as is Unmovic and IAEA, and I would not make a judgment as to whether or not the declaration will be found deficient and whether or not that might lead to a material breach and whether or not, if it did, that would lead to action on the part of the United Nations.

It is good if your enemy underestimates you. The dumber they think you are the more surprised they are when you kill them.
