If we don't get gun-control laws in this country we are full of beans. To have the National Rifle Association rule the United States is pathetic. And I agree with Mayor Michael Bloomberg: It's time to put up or shut up about gun control for both parties.

There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.

First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.

As recent as the year 2000 we won elections by saying we shouldn't be the policemen of the world and that we should not be nation building. And its time we got those values back into this country.

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality order and diligence without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.

I will forever be thankful to the Malawians and international community and my professional army and army general who said: 'No we will follow the constitution.' That's why I'm here.
