“He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.”

I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve my country. The issues are global and so interlocked that to consider the problems of one sector, oblivious to those of another, is but to court disaster for the whole.

If we will not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door.

The nations of the world will have to unite for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of Earth must some day make a common front against attack by people from other planets.

Here are centered the hopes and aspirations and faith of the entire human race. I do not stand here as advocate for any partisan cause, for the issues are fundamental and reach quite beyond the realm of partisan consideration.

Worry, doubt, fear and despair are the enemies which slowly bring us down to the ground and turn us to dust before we die.

Believe me, sir, never a night goes by, be I ever so tired, but I read the Word of God before I go to bed.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber.

Few names have left a firmer imprint upon the pages of the history of American times than has that of Ty Cobb… he seems to have understood that in the competition of baseball, just as in war, defensive strategy never has produced ultimate victory.

Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won. The skies no longer rain with death – the seas bear only commerce – men everywhere walk upright in the sunlight.

A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.

There is not one incident in the history of humanity in which defeatism led to peace which was anything other than a complete fraud.

The object and practice of liberty lies in the limitation of government power.

I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil.

A soldier plods and groans, sweats and toils, he growls and curses, and at the end he dies.

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.

Whenever there is a big game and people don’t think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.

I was interested in the ideas – freedom, free speech and having control of my own life. That’s why I became a Tory.

Under a tyranny, most friends are a liability. One quarter of them turn “reasonable” and become your enemies.

Prejudgments become prejudices only if they are not reversible when exposed to new knowledge.

When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near.

I think you really have to become a parent to understand what you will endure to be there for your kids.

Wherever you go, things change you. I mean, obviously moving to Miami and becoming part of the NBA has given me a different perspective on style than I had when I lived in Chicago or Milwaukee.
