When women kiss it always reminds one of prize fighters shaking hands.

That's the biggest problem with boxing in the United States. They do not promote it like they used to when it used to be Howard Cosell and they showed it on 'Wide World of Sports.' Everybody knew all the fighters. Everybody was looking forward to the year when the Olympics came on.

Women by their nature are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.

While Taliban fighters had an initial claim to protection under the conventions they lost POW status by failing to obey the standards of conduct for legal combatants: wearing uniforms a responsible command structure and obeying the laws of war.

Human-rights advocates for example claim that the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners is of a piece with President Bush's 2002 decision to deny al Qaeda and Taliban fighters the legal status of prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions.

Police and firefighters are great but they don't create wealth. They protect it. That's crucial. Teaching is a wonderful profession. Teachers help educate people to become good citizens so that citizens can then go create wealth. But they don't create the wealth themselves.

The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.

They call them terrorists I call them freedom fighters.

Well if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us do they?

I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distractions the continued hurt caused on me and my family not because we are not fighters. Not because I'm not a fighter.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt but people die in plane crashes lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die some get hurt some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

I've set the model of showing fighters how they should conduct their business.

The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters - not to talk in armies and nations and numbers - but to track it home.
