People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.

Now I can go back to being ruthless again.

Men and women with freed minds may often be mistaken, but they are seldom fooled. They may be influenced, but they cannot be intimidated. They may be perplexed, but they will never be lost.

I run because I am convinced that this country is on a perilous course and I have such strong feelings about what must be done.

People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.

Nations around the world look to us for the leadership not merely by strength of arms but by strength of our convictions.

All do not develop in the same manner, or at the same pace. Nations, like men, often march to the beat of different drummers, and the precise solutions of the United States can neither be dictated nor transplanted to others. What is important is that all nations must march toward increasing freedom; toward justice for all; toward a society strong and flexible enough to meet the demands of all its own people, and a world of immense and dizzying change.
