Great men have big failures.

I was an assistant U.S. attorney. I was the associate attorney general of the United States, third-ranking official under Ronald Reagan.

The past is what we have to learn about how to direct America to the future.

The lesson of 9/11 is that America is truly exceptional. We withstood the worst attack of our history, intended by our enemies to destroy us. Instead, it drew us closer and made us more united. Our love for freedom and one another has given us a strength that surprised even ourselves.

No magic formula can completely prepare us for crises in life. However, each choice we make now will impact how we handle those crises in the future. Make your choice count. Dedicate time each day to developing your character. If you do, courage will be there when you need it most.

People die when you crowd the streets of New York City with protesters. You can do plenty of protesting on the sidewalk.

If you don't find a way to do something as work that is fulfilling and enjoyable, then your life is going to be really sad.
