"I'm not a man who enjoys ceremony. I prefer to get down to business."

"I can't tell you how many times I've walked down a street and someone has said, 'Hey, general, how's the war going?' And I've had to say, 'I don't know, I'm just the President.'"

"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."

"I don't like people who are always complaining. If you don't like something, change it."

"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."
