Thanking people is dangerous business. A name always slips your mind.

Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.

Life is getting up one more time than you've been knocked down.

All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be some place else.

Let's say I hope that I appeal to the more carefree times in a person's life rather than to his reasoning adulthood. I'd just like to be an image that reminds someone of joy rather than of the problems of the world.

Give the American people a good cause, and there's nothing they can't lick.

Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be. I was proud when President Nixon ordered the mining of Haiphong Harbor, which we should have done long ago, because I think we're helping a brave little country defend herself against Communist invasion. That's what I tried to show in The Green Berets and I took plenty of abuse from the critics.
