I never had a single conversation about politics with Ross Perot in my life; still haven't.

I was commanding officer of a supersonic fighter squadron, F-8 Crusaders.

Great leaders gain authority by giving it away.

I think character is permanent, and issues are transient.

I mean, I didn't - I should have demanded attention of the boss maybe, or something like that that might have backfired. This I would just take as it came.

Half the issues they - are so polished they're talking about - are dead by the time they get into the office, and into the midst of their tour where they're really productive.

The worst thing that can happen is death, and that's not the worst thing in the world either.
