• What if there's another terrorist attack? I cringe at the ideas of our enemies watching this, knowing much like the president we have now. You can do anything you want, you can jerk us around, you can harass our naval ships the way Iran is doing right now, and we're not going to do anything. We're not going to react.

• Estoy a favor de confiar la defensa interna a nuestra milicia sólo hasta que se produzca una invasión real, y a favor de una fuerza naval sólo que pueda proteger nuestras costas y puertos de depredaciones como las que hemos experimentado; y no a favor de un ejército permanente en tiempos de paz que pueda abrumar el sentimiento público; ni a favor de una marina que, por sus propios gastos y las guerras eternas en las que nos implicará, nos machacará con cargas públicas y nos hundirá bajo ellas.

• One of the most meaningful things that's happened to me since I've been the governor - the president - governor - president. Oops. Ex-governor. I went to Bethesda Naval Hospital to give a fellow a Purple Heart, and at the same moment I watched him-get a Purple Heart for action in Iraq - and at that same - right after I gave him the Purple Heart, he was sworn in as a citizen of the United States - a Mexican citizen, now a United States citizen.

• The Naval Academy is a very prestigious place, and I choose to try it. I got there and darn near didn't pass, just about flunked out the first year, but a commandant by the name of Bush Bringle managed to call me in one day and taught me more about leadership in about 15 minutes than I have learned in the rest of my life. And because of Bush Bringle I regained some faith and confidence in myself, learning I had a little bit more in me than I thought, and I went back to work and finished.

• It is by no means enough that an officer should be capable. . . . He should be as well a gentleman of liberal education, refined manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor. . . . No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.

• I was brought up in a very naval, military, and conservative background. My father and his friends had very typical opinions of the British middle class - lower-middle class actually - after the war. My father broke into the middle class by joining the navy. I was the first member of my family ever to go to private school or even to university. So, the armed forces had been upward mobility for him.

• Estaba junto a un afamado geopolítico cuando se recibieron las primeras noticias del ataque argentino [a las islas Faulkland], y le oí musitar incrédulo: "Una batalla naval a la vieja usanza. Una guerra entre dos naciones civilizadas, quizá incluso con una declaración de guerra, y más tarde una conferencia de paz. Vaya". Sin rehenes, sin armas nucleares, sin ideologías, sin fanatismo religioso; sólo una guerra justa por los intereses nacionales, algo difícil de creer en los tiempos que corren.

• It was that summer, too, that I began the cutting, and was almost as devoted to it as my newfound loveliness. I adored tending to myself, wiping a shallow red pool of my blood away with a damp washcloth to magically reveal, just above my naval: queasy. Applying alcohol with dabs of a cottonball, wispy shreds sticking to the bloody lines of: perky. I had a dirty streak my senior year, which I later rectified.
