The ultimate test of a nation's character is not how it responds to adversity in war but how it meets the challenge of peace.

I want a Goddamn strong statement on marijuana, I mean one that just tears the ass out of them. You know, its a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish.

The Soviet Union began by banishing God. The United States began as a community of people who wanted to worship God as they chose. . . Man does not live by bread alone. Those in the United States whose desire to create a strictly secular society is as strong as Lenin's was should study this Cold War lesson closely. Communism was defeated by an alliance spearheaded by 'one nation under God.'

The average American is just like the child in the family. You give him some responsibility and he is going to amount to something. He is going to do something. If, on the other hand, you make him completely dependent and pamper him and cater to him too much, you are going to make him soft, spoiled and eventually a very weak individual.

I believe in the battle-whether it's the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.

The only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.

It is not enough just to be for peace. The point is, what can we do about it?
