Free speech is intended to protect the controversial and even outrageous word; and not just comforting platitudes too mundane to need protection.

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.

Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.

Almost invariably, whoever doesn't win the argument is going to be unhappy.

Decision-making is lonely.

My own experience is that you get as much information as you can and then you pay attention to your intuition, to your informed instinct.

Fear is a normal human emotion. It is not in itself a killer. We can learn to be aware when fear grips us, and can train to operate through and in spite of our fear. If, on the other hand, we don't understand that fear is normal and has to be controlled and overcome, it will paralyze us and stop us in our tracks. We will no longer think clearly or analyze rationally. We prepare for it and control it; we never let it control us. It if does, we cannot lead.
