The object of my relationship with Vietnam has been to heal the wounds that exist, particularly among our veterans, and to move forward with a positive relationship,... Apparently some in the Vietnamese government don't want to do that and that's their decision.

I'm very moved to be here today, ... Our lives are now much better, but Vietnam remains a very poor country. We need to work much harder.

We have a secret weapon...it is called Nationalism

When the prison doors are opened, the real dragon will fly out.

The rice grain suffers under the blow of the pestle. But admire its whiteness once the order is over. So it is with men and the world we live in. To be a man one must suffer the blows of misfortune.

You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win.

Love other human beings as you would love yourself.
