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

What you’re seeing with Occupy Wall Street and the others are people who are unhappy and they’re directing their unhappiness now toward Wall Street and toward those they think are doing too well in our society.

Always be looking for that which you do well and that which you love doing, and when you find those two things together — man, you got it.

It is not possible to rule out anything because we don't know what will happen.

Use the formula P=40 to 70, in which P stands for the probability of success and the numbers indicate the percentage of information acquired. Once the information is in the 40 to 70 range, go with your gut.

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.

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.
