Тhe battlefield in the air will be the decisive one

Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the change in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur.

In order to assure an adequate national defense, it is necessary - and sufficient - to be in a position in case of war to conquer the command of the air.

Would not the sight of a single enemy airplane be enough to induce a formidable panic? Normal life would be unable to continue under the constant threat of death and imminent destruction.

To conquer the command in the air means victory; to be beaten in the air means defeat.

Because of its independence of surface limitations and its superior speed the airplane is the offensive weapon par excellence.

To have command of the air means to be able to cut an enemy's army and navy off from their bases of operation and nullify their chances of winning the war.

The one effective method of defending one's own territory from an offensive by air is to destroy the enemy's air power with the greatest possible speed.

I think writers need windows on a view to remind them that a whole world is out there, not the minutiae with which they might be dealing on a close scale

I mean, you've got to protect human health beyond everything, and so we think eliminating shared-use antibiotics is the right way to go.

It's been a moment since I've done some public speaking. I find now-a-days it's best to keep quiet.

Genetically, I'm pure Greek. Psychologically, environmentally, culturally, by choice, I'm a member of the black community.

Fatherhood has taught me when it's too quiet my kids are usually sinning. God the Father knows the same. Are you praying?

I decided that it was more important to laugh than to eat.
