I sincerely regret the unfortunate choice of language which I used in my letter of August 29 to Congressman McDonough concerning the Marine Corps.

When we understand the other fellow's viewpoint - understand what he is trying to do - nine times out of ten he is trying to do right.

I do not understand a mind which sees a gracious beneficence in spending money to slay and maim human beings in almost unimaginable numbers and deprecates the expenditure of a smaller sum to patch up the ills of mankind.

We must help to the limits of our strength. And we will.

In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first.

Being too good is apt to be uninteresting.

If you can't convince them, confuse them.
