Just two weeks ago, millions of Iraqis defied the threats of terrorists and went to the polls to determine their own future. I congratulate the Iraqi people for the courage they've shown in making these elections so successful.

Presumption should never make us neglect that which appears easy to us, nor despair make us lose courage at the sight of difficulties.

No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut.

I admired Eugene McCarthy's courage and although I left his Senate staff after four years to accept a job as the researcher on the editorial page of the 'Washington Post,' I remained an admirer.

A man of courage flees forward, in the midst of new things.
