Beware not the enemy from 'without' but the enemy from 'within'.

They died hard, those savage men - like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.

Even when opportunity knocks, a man still has to get up off his seat and open the door.

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

I've looked that old scoundrel death in the eye many times but this time I think he has me on the ropes.

Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.

I stand on this rostrum with a sense of deep humility and great pride - humility in the weight of those great American architects of our history who have stood here before me; pride in the reflection that this home of legislative debate represents human liberty in the purest form yet devised.
