To become one with your feelings so that, when you think — it is.”

“He (Saddam) had this huge war going on, and you have to act firmly when you have an assassination attempt.”

“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.”
