"We need to get rid of the idea that we can be a great nation without being a strong nation."

"I believe in a strong navy, and I believe in a strong army, and I believe in a strong foreign policy."

"I have always been for the man who is willing to take off his coat and go to work."

"I am a man of the West, and I have lived among the cowboys and the hunters and the miners and the ranchmen, and I know them, and I know their ways."
