“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.”

I don’t like the idea of something where you have to depend upon the integrity of the man and not the integrity of the institution.

Never let yourself be persuaded that any one Great Man, any one leader, is necessary to the salvation of America. When America consists of one leader and 158 million followers, it will no longer be America.

Shot through the heart, and you’re to blame! you give love, a bad name.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

True delegation implies the courage and readiness to back up a subordinate to the full; it is not to be confused with the slovenly practice of merely ignoring an unpleasant situation in the hope that someone else will handle it.

We must achieve both security and solvency. In fact, the foundation of military strength is economic strength.

Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in blood of his followers and sacrifices of his friends.

No man is worth your tears, but once you find one that is, he won’t make you cry.

Your life today is a result of your thinking yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be determined by what you think today.

Your attitude determines your altitude. It really is true that If you think you can, you can; and if you think you can’t – you’re right.

Dead men will tell you, never stand in the way of a determined woman.

I believe that most successful people are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.
