  • No back flips off the diving board, do it again and your out of the pool.
    • Quoted in the Statesboro Harald in 1991 after mimicking a local lifeguard
  • Elizabeth's back at the Red Cross, and I'm walking the dog.

  • I once described myself as the most optimistic man in America. Life has taught me to put my faith in the uncounted millions who may never run for office, pass a bill, or craft a sound bite, but who fight our wars and embody the ideals worth fighting for.

Now I belong to a disappearing generation, perhaps five million in all, forever bonded by the tests we faced so long ago.
