I think America has more than enough maturity and intelligence to start exercising its world leadership responsibly.

Intelligence we gathered at the time indicated that this was in fact leadership and we struck the leadership.

The intelligence investigation under the leadership of Senator Church which I know has helped cause this investigation by you points out that the agencies did not disclose certain facts to us and that certain plots were going on.

Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence. This explains why we have so many stupid leaders.

President Reagan was a leader at a time when the American people most needed leadership. He outlined a vision that captured the imagination of the free world a vision that toppled the Communist empire and freed countless millions.

Throughout history great leaders have known the power of humor.

President Obama chose politics over leadership. 'Hope' and 'Change' have become bait-and-switch.

There are no ideas in the Republican Party right now in the Congress. They're the party of no. They desperately need some intellectual leadership. And whatever you think of Newt Gingrich he can supply intellectual leadership. So I hope he does run.

House and Senate Republicans are now united in adopting earmark bans. We hope President Obama will follow through on his support for an earmark ban by pressing Democratic leaders to join House and Senate Republicans in taking this critical step to restore public trust.

A person who no matter how desperate the situation gives others hope is a true leader.
