• The Constitution should contain a provision that every officer of the Government who should neglect or refuse to extend the protection guaranteed in the Constitution should be subject to capital punishment; and then the president of the United States would not say, "Your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you."

• Let vice and immorality of every kind be discouraged as much as possible in your brigade; and, as a chaplain is allowed to each regiment, see that the men regularly attend during worship. Gaming of every kind is expressly forbidden, as being the foundation of evil, and the cause of many a brave and gallant officer's and soldier's ruin.

• ¿Me tomáis por una esponja, mi señor? Hamlet: Sí, señor; que absorbe el semblante del rey, sus recompensas, sus autoridades. Pero al fin y al cabo, tales funcionarios son los que mejor sirven al rey: los tiene, como a un simio, en el rincón de su mandíbula; primero se los lleva a la boca, para tragárselos al fin: cuando necesite lo que habéis espigado, no es más que apretaros, y, esponja, volveréis a estar seca. rosencrantz: No os entiendo, mi señor. hamlet: Me alegro de ello: un discurso mañoso duerme en un oído necio.

• Mi madre, por ejemplo, le dijo al oficial alemán que no la matara. Ella haría que valiera la pena. Y luego, cuando lo estaban haciendo, sacó un cuchillo de su cinturón y le abrió el pecho, igual que solía abrir pechugas de pollo para rellenarlas con arroz para la comida del Sabbath.

• When the police officers knock on your door with a warrant, they don't expect you to give them a tour. It's supposed to be an adversarial process so that it's used in these extraordinary powers are applied only when there's no alternative. Only when they're absolutely necessary, and only when they're proportionate to the threat faced by these individuals.

• If we look at the Gulf War, the same is also true. Indeed, my work on the logistics of perception and the Gulf War was so accurate that I was even asked to discuss it with high-ranking French military officers. They asked me: 'how is it that you wrote that book in 1984 and now it's happening for real?' My answer was: 'the problem is not mine but yours: you have not been doing your job properly!'

• I first became interested in Ho Chi Minh in 1964-1965 while I was stationed at the U.S. Embassy in South Vietnam as a foreign service officer with the Department of State. The government in Saigon was at the point of collapse and the [Lyndon] Johnson administration was preparing to send U.S. combat troops to prevent a communist victory there. I became convinced that the U.S. effort would not succeed because of the lack of conviction in the Saigon government compared to the discipline and sense of self-sacrifice among the Viet Cong.

• Police do get obsessed with solving crimes. You know, particularly if there's been a murder, it becomes personal for the police officer very quickly, and it gets to the family. Even after they've retired, they carry on, not letting go.

• I, as school kid, was a member of the Civil Guard, something like today's NCC. We had to salute our officers who went round in jeeps. So I thought one day I will also ride in a jeep and somebody else will salute me.

• The Armenians will willingly harbor
  revolutionaries, arrange for their entertainment and the furthering of their ends. The pride of race brings about many singularities and prompts the Armenians to prey on missionaries, Jesuits, consuls and European traveler with rapacity and ingratitude. The poor Armenians will demand assistance in a loud tone, yet will seldom give thanks for a donation. Abuse of Consular officers and missionaries is only a part of the stock-in-trade of the extra-Armenian press.

• Cuando yo era niño, si un funcionario era sorprendido en prácticas corruptas, se convertía en un paria. Sería un completo rechazado de la sociedad; no podría levantar la voz para hablar en público. ¿Qué ha pasado entre aquella época y ahora? Aquella época en la que un funcionario público, de prisiones o de aduanas pillado en corrupción escondía la cara avergonzado entre sus compañeros, no podía salir a la luz pública. Hoy, cuando vuelven, obtienen títulos de jefes, son recibidos a lo grande, se matan vacas, cabalgan en caballos blancos.

• Una de las grandes ventajas de Estados Unidos es que, cuando se trata de asuntos mundiales, el presidente es obviamente el líder del Poder Ejecutivo, el Comandante en Jefe, el portavoz de la nación, pero la influencia y el trabajo que realizamos no son sólo el resultado del presidente, sino de innumerables interacciones y acuerdos y relaciones entre nuestros militares y otros militares, y nuestros diplomáticos y otros diplomáticos, los oficiales de inteligencia y los cooperantes.

• As far as police go, if officers are really that scared or timid [on the streets], maybe they shouldn't be police officers. Their job is to protect and serve and they're supposed to be the bravest of the brave.

• Multiple studies, including from the Justice Department, have shown that the guns used in homicides, including the killing of police officers, overwhelmingly tend to be small-caliber handguns. Moreover, gun ownership has increased over the past 20 years — the same period in which both the violent crime rate and the killing of police officers have been in decline.
