The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.

War is a profane thing.

I hate war. Absolutely, I hate war.

I'm not a politician. I'd make a lousy politician.

I am living proof that if you catch prostate cancer early, it can be reduced to a temporary inconvenience, and you can go back to a normal life.

I am quite confident that in the foreseeable future armed conflict will not take the form of huge land armies facing each other across extended battle lines, as they did in World War I and World War II or, for that matter, as they would have if NATO had faced the Warsaw Pact on the field of battle.

It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
