Everything depends on the Americans. If they want to make war for 20 years then we shall make war for 20 years. If they want to make peace, we shall make peace and invite them to tea afterwards.

Our resistance will be long and painful, but whatever the sacrifices, however long the struggle, we shall fight to the end, until Vietnam is fully independent and reunified.

It is better to sacrifice everything than to live in slavery!

Success comes to the man who grits his teeth, squares his jaw and says, "There is a way for me and, by jingo, I'll find it".

Storytelling and elegant style don't always go hand in hand.

When you send a clerk on business to a distant province, a man of rigid morals is not your best choice.

Love is the beginning, the middle, and the end of everything.

The absolute has moved into the fortress of the absurd.

Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work
