I try to be the same person I was yesterday.

Have a vision; but it's not enough to have a vision, you have to communicate that vision to others. You have to communicate it to people who work with you and for you. You have to communicate it to the world leaders with whom you come in touch.

Only when you have got a clear statement of what you want to achieve, do you ask yourself how you are going to achieve it. In the military we are taught never to go for a single answer, no matter how obvious that might be.

You can't make someone else's choices. You shouldn't let someone else make yours.

The ties that bind us are stronger than the occasional stresses that separate us.

I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I'm pretty strong on, on defense matters.

Every human endeavor has leaders and followers, and your job as a leader is to inspire.
