My conviction is that the best strategy to defend the West is to defend Israel.

Disarming Iraq is legal under a series of U.N. resolutions. Iraq is in flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.

Without economic development, any potential for political openness and freedom will be questionable.

Not acting to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction is neither politically nor morally acceptable.

The alliance should agree... to an effective NATO role against the new threats presented by international terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.

Young people in particular need real options to find a decent job and to lift their lives. I'm not sure the new Islamist governments will be the best to promote prosperity and growth.

Appeasement was never a very clever policy, and it should not be our option today.

There are countries that prefer to think that they're buying comfort at the cost of others, but I don't think that's the way you can act in this world. There are no neutral groups.

We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.

Psychosclerosis: the hardening of the attitude which causes a person to cease dreaming, seeing, thinking, and leading.

We don't have any problem finding enough things to do; the problem we have is making sure we don't overload ourselves inadvertently.

Reason is one thing and faith is another and reason can as little be made a substitute for faith, as faith can be made a substitute for reason.

There would be economic disruption in Omaha from expanded gambling...You would just be moving Chernobyl closer to the population center

I longed to arrest all beauty that came before me, and at length the longing has been satisfied.

I won't say 'See you tomorrow' because that would be like predicting the future, and I'm pretty sure I can't do that.
