Unlike Churchill, I have no plans to shape history. . . . Socrates gave advice

In crucial things, unity. In important things, diversity. In ALL things, generosity.

If I were to give advice to young people, high-achieving young people for example, I’d have to say, don’t neglect your family. Politics is important, sitting at the head table is glamorous. Traveling around the world, trying to do something for world peace was wonderful. But family and friends and faith are what really matter in life. And I know that. I see it so clearly now.

I don't worry about superpower confrontation. You know, I lived through the Cold War days, and where everybody was worried about a Soviet Union armed to the teeth. I think we're going to get along fine with Russia, and I don't see them as internationally ambitious.

Poland should be strong and prosperous and independent and play its proper role as a great nation in the heart of Europe.

If the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts.

Our God is a forgiving God.
