There's many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell.
For far too long we've allowed the other side to paint us as racist as sexist inhumane war mongers - well today as a conservative black Republican and former solider I'm here to set that record straight.
There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but boys it is all hell.
Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today if only we had eyes to see them.
Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920's and 1930's when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother's keeper.
The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution.
War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.
I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve and I serve it in all lucidity.
There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.
The lowest form of popular culture - lack of information misinformation disinformation and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people's lives - has overrun real journalism. Today ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.
Today I bent the truth to be kind and I have no regret for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.
We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.
If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
We have an opportunity but we have an obligation to senior citizens and to the younger people who are entering the workforce today to help ensure that they are going to be able to trust the government to have a workable program that benefits them as well.
The Social Security trust fund is in pretty good shape today and we should not embark upon risky dangerous schemes which will in fact undermine Social Security such as privatization.
I came all this way for a reason. Today is the day of salvation. Trust Jesus to save you. Then be sincere as God knows a pretender.
When you're C.E.O. you have to have two conditions: first shareholders need to trust you and want you to head your company. The second is that you need to feel the motivation to do the job. So as long as both are reunited you continue to do the job. And today they are reunited.
Today I trust my instinct I trust myself. Finally.
Let us not forget that the European Community started as a project for peace after the terrible Second World War. And today people take for granted the freedom to travel to study to work abroad. And the citizens of one country have almost exactly the same rights as another country.
You have to travel globally today to know what's going on and maintain an edge.
But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.
Could I say that the reason that I am here today you know from the mouth of the State Department itself is: I should not be allowed to travel because I have struggled for years for the independence of the colonial peoples of Africa.
As you think you travel and as you love you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
I believe that anybody who gets married should go to a counselor for months before the wedding. I think that's going to save guys a lot of money and the ladies a lot of heartbreak.
