Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike - I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam.

Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you will always be victorious

We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

It may be necessary to use methods other than constitutional ones.
