We must never forget that these are not just statistics we are talking about, but human beings.

The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.

I refuse to believe that the world is so divided that we cannot find common ground.

The real problem with the world is not that it is a bad place, but that it is a good place with bad people in it.

The United States is not a nation of cowards, but a nation of courage.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that everything is going to be alright. But I am going to tell you that we will do our best.

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.

I am a soldier, and I believe in peace.

The greatest asset a nation can have is its people.

There are no victories in life, only challenges.

I like to play golf. It's a good way to get away from the problems of the world.

The only thing more difficult than leading men is leading women.

I'm not a politician. I'm a general who happens to be President.

The American way of life is not a static thing. It is a dynamic thing.

The greatest mistake in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

The United States must be prepared to use atomic weapons in the event of a major war.

I hate to see the day when we get so dependent on the government that we can't do anything for ourselves.

Some people wanted me to be a politician. I wanted to be a soldier. And I've always been a soldier.
