I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future.

With our eyes fixed on the future, but recognizing the realities of today, we will achieve our destiny to be as a shining city on a hill for all mankind to see.

If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.

We should declare war on North Vietnam - we could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas

The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.

Today we Americans lost a hero who always seemed larger than life. ... Bear Bryant gave his country the gift of a life unsurpassed. In making the impossible seem easy, he lived what we strive to be.
