• A strong defense is the surest way to peace. Strength makes detente attainable. Weakness invites war, as my generation - my generation - knows from four very bitter experiences. Just as America's will for peace is second to none, so will America's strength be second to none. We cannot rely on the forbearance of others to protect this Nation. The power and diversity of the Armed Forces, active Guard and Reserve, the resolve of our fellow citizens, the flexibility in our command to navigate international waters that remain troubled are all essential to our security.

  Gerald R. Ford

• Just as the grammarian makes one study grammar,
  A Buddha teaches according to the tolerance of his students;
  Some he urges to refrain from sins, others to do good,
  Some to rely on dualism, other on non-dualism;
  And to some he teaches the profound,
  The terrifying, the practice of enlightenment,
  Whose essence is emptiness that is compassion

• The notion of rights is linked with the notion of sharing out, of exchange, of measured quantity. It has a commercial flavor, essentially evocative of legal claims and arguments. Rights are always asserted in a tone of contention; and when this tone is adopted, it must rely upon force in the background, or else it will be laughed at.
