The greatest gifts my parents gave to me...were their unconditional love and a set of values.

Get mad, then get over it.

I was born in Harlem, raised in the South Bronx, went to public school, got out of public college, went into the Army, and then I just stuck with it.

I have always held the view that decisive force should be used in addressing a military conflict. The reason is simple: Why wouldn't you, if you could?

I think whether you're having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.

The most effective means of ensuring the government's accountability to the people is an aggressive, free, challenging, untrusting press.

Bad news isn't wine. It doesn't improve with age.
