My favorite book is the last one printed, which is always better than those that were published earlier.

Like their predecessors, the Presidents of today just throw up their hands.

Within Easy Company they had made the best friends they had ever had, or would ever have. They were prepared to die for each other; more important, they were prepared to kill for each other.

Washington's character was rock solid. He came to stand for the new nation and its republican virtues, which was why he became our first President by unanimous choice.

I was too young for Korea and too old for Vietnam.

My first book was the book that changed my life.

I thought Nixon was the worst President we had ever had, save only perhaps Andrew Johnson.
