My favourite president, and the one I admired most, was Harry Truman.

Always tell the truth, and take an interest in serving the people around you as much as possible.

There's no doubt that usually a president's public image is enhanced by going to war. That never did appeal to me.

I think there's an awakening now of a realization that we too early congratulated ourselves on the end of racial prejudice and white supremacy. And that was a feeling that we had when I was president, that we had pretty much overcome that problem.

My opinion of the Russians has changed most drastically in the last week than even (sic) the two-and-a-half years before that. It's only now dawning upon the world the magnitude of the action that the Soviets undertook in invading Afghanistan.

I don't laugh at people any more when they say they've seen UFOs. I've seen one myself!

My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.
