I'd rather be right than consistent.

You can always rely on America to do the right thing -- once it has exhausted the alternatives.

It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we must do what is required.

There are no people in the world who are so slow to develop hostile feelings against a foreign country as the Americans, and no people who, once estranged, are more difficult to win back.

Young people at universities study to achieve knowledge and not to learn a trade. We must all learn how to support ourselves, but we must also learn how to live. We need a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of modern engineers.

One can usually put one's thoughts better in one's own words.

The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.
