I believed that our own public would keep this in mind even in this serious crisis, and stand firm if only we at the front continued to stand firm too.

We proved we could be safe and secure at home, and still have more allies and friends in the world.

If we all looked out for each other a little bit more, I think we wouldn't have a lot of the crisis that we have in today's society.

Crisis and pressure help foster change - that's why I'm not so pessimistic towards crises.

First of all we have to recognize that despite all the problems - and in some cases failures - that this regime has been much more successful, much more resilient, than people had anticipated.

Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

Well, I have also believed in empowering the individual and believe there is a degree of inertia in big government that hampers the ability to respond to a rapidly evolving crisis.

Our poverty will be brought home to us to its full extent only after the war.

I felt great empathy for the thousands of Americans who lost their home because of a system that failed them.

What we have, however, is an issue that has tremendous impact here at home, and we believe that Americans are starting to feel vulnerable, not just from what is going on around the world but right here in the United States.
