Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society.

It would be a world of constantly accelerating economic progress — not material welfare as an end in itself, but as a means to liberate the capacity of every human being to pursue his talents and to pursue his hopes. It would, in short, be a world that we would be proud to have built.

If I should ever be captured, I want no negotiation. And if I should request a negotiation from captivity they should consider that a sign of duress.
I'm tired of chasing people.
In crises the most daring course is often safest.
It is more important to be of service than successful.1 2 3
