"I'm what the world considers to be a phenomenally successful man. And I've failed much more than I've succeeded. And each time I fail, I get my people together, and I say, "Where are we going?" And it starts to get better." - Calvin Trager

Among my favorites:
"[Osama Bin Laden is] either alive and well or alive and not too well or not alive."

and my favorite...
"Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war."

of the world, it has a real role to play. If it doesn't,
it will be irrelevant."
