A leader has to lead, or otherwise he has no business in politics.

Honor bespeaks worth. Confidence begets trust. Service brings satisfaction. Cooperation proves the quality of leadership.

If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

The brave person thinks of themselves last of all.

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them, they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will sink out of sight.

God, give us the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.

Next to the assumption of power is the responsibility of relinquishing it.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.
