There's a mindset of flexibility and adaptability that comes with us. We don't mind hardship. We don't mind somebody saying, 'Go in and do this nasty job.' Whatever the job is, we can do it. That's why the nation has a Marine Corps.

When you get out of the Marine Corps, you feel like you can do anything.

We ask the military to be in a position that, if we ask them to do a task, they are absolutely able to do it for us.

One day, you'll get out of the Marine Corps; you'll put your uniform up, but you'll never not be a Marine.

Duty is the great business of a sea officer; all private considerations must give way to it, however painful it may be.

We'll have to marshal our forces in Washington. It won't be easy. That doesn't mean it can't be done.

The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's.

Sure it's a big job; but I don't know anyone who can do it better than I can.

We must do everything we can to help our service members and veterans transition into civilian life once they return home, and that means preparing them for the tough job market.

Almost any job can make us better human beings if we do it with passion.
