The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.

The second best decision in time is infinitely better than the perfect decision too late.

As far as I am concerned, war itself is immoral.

I have returned many times to honour the valiant men who died...every man who set foot on Omaha Beach was a hero.

In war there is no second prize for the runner-up.

The greatness of a leader is measured by the achievements of the led. This is the ultimate test of his effectiveness.

Our humanity is trapped by moral adolescents. We have too many men of science, too few men of God. The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom and power without conscience.
