For all history up to the end of the Cold War, summit meetings were historic and dramatic occasions, when leaders who controlled the destiny of much of the world met to change the world.

There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body.

Priorities like winning the War on Terror and providing tax relief that will keep our economy growing strong.

War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don't want to make money that way. I don't want blood money.

Nothing is more useless in developing a nation's economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. War is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized men.

The war on terror, if this is a war on terror, can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.

In a war of ideas it is people who get killed.
