Never neglect details. When everyone's mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant.

Always do your best. Somebody is watching you.

You can't get it all done yourself. The best leaders are not afraid of picking people who are better than they are and who may one day replace them.

Don't be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they produce hemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as they are nicked by the real world.

There is a war on terror that must be fought. Nobody's immune... And so rather than finding fault with what Spain has done by being aggressive in the war on terror, this should redouble everyone's efforts to go after terrorist organizations of any kind... Terror has to be brought to an end.

Our strategy in going after this army is very simple. First we are going to cut it off, and then we are going to kill it.

Let it [racism] be a problem to someone else... Let it drag them down. Don't use it as an excuse for your own shortcomings.
