I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.

Great events make me quiet and calm it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.

No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty.

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.

It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.
