“We have come dedicated and committed to the task of destroying every vestige of enemy control over your daily lives, and of restoring upon a foundation of indestructible strength, the liberties of your people.”

However horrible the incidents of war may be, the soldier who is called upon to offer and to give his life for his country is the noblest development of mankind.

Men since the beginning of time have sought peace.

To dilute the will to win is to destroy the purpose of the game. There is no substitute for victory.

The issues which today confront the nation are clearly defined and so fundamental as to directly involve the very survival of the Republic. Are we going to preserve the religious base to our origin.

Are we going to permit a continuing decline in public and private morality or re-establish high ethical standards as the means of regaining a diminishing faith in the integrity of our public and private institutions?

A good soldier, whether he leads a platoon or an army, is expected to look backward as well as forward; but he must think only forward.

The enemy is in front of us, the enemy is behind us, the enemy is to the right and to the left of us. They can’t get away this time!

On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

We are not retreating – we are advancing in another direction.

Never ask age of a woman.

Optimism is denial, so face the facts and move on

History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.

We have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned there can be no turning back. We must go forward to preserve in peace what we won in war. A new era is upon us.

There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.

To master ourselves before we attempt to master others; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; and to give the predominance of courage over timidity.

Whatever your years, there is in every being’s heart the love of wonder, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what next, and the joy and the game of life.

I’m used to people kind of knowing me in the community.

Less I. more We. For the good of the community.

I hope people become inspired to become active in their community. That’s the important thing.

We have a political culture of intimidation, of favoring, of patronage, and of fear, and that is no way for a community to be governed.

Community is first of all a quality of the heart. It grows from the spiritual knowledge that we are alive not for ourselves but for one another.

I’m smiling on the inside. I feel I have a responsibility to the fashion community.

The position of the Muslim community in the face of all provocations seems to be: Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say that it isn’t, we will kill you.

What an opportunity we have to be a community….A community where there are models.
