“The whole point of life is learning to live with the consequences of the bad decision we've made.”

“But I think we were walking around like we were invincible. And maybe that's a bad way to live your life. Because you're not invincible. Nobody is. And maybe now that we've learned that, we'll be better.”

“Wisdom is not just weighing what is good and what is bad. Wisdom also looks at the consequences of the decisions it makes. The more severe the consequences, the greater the demands on wisdom to make the right decision.”

“I've made a decision and now I must face the consequences.”

“The decisions that I made in 2010 were made out of a concern for my country and the world that we live in. Since the tragic events of 9/11, our country has been at war. We've been at war with an enemy that chooses not to meet us on any traditional battlefield, and due to this fact we've had to alter our methods of combating the risks posed to us and our way of life.”

“An easy life doesn't teach us anything. In the end it's the learning that matters: what we've learned and how we've grown”

“What matters is the value we've created in our lives, the people we've made happy and how much we've grown as people.”

“The problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.”

“Though life is made up of mere bubbles,
'T is better than many aver,
For while we've a whole lot of troubles,
The most of them never occur.”

“It had to happen to you, to concentrate your whole life on one point, and then discover that you can do anything except live at that point.”
