America will honor our treaty obligations.

Either we're going to solve this by realistic negotiation or there will be blood on the border.

We have always been prepared to negotiate with the U.S. government everything that has to do with bilateral relations, on a basis of the strictest mutual respect for the sovereign rights of each country. We will never try to ask the government of the United States to change its economic and political system.

Only seven years ago we made a treaty by which we were assured that the buffalo country should be left to us forever. Now they threaten to take that from us also.

We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

Negotiating with the Taliban must be done from a position of strength. Negotiating from a position of weakness would be a disaster.

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

I took the Canal Zone and let Congress debate; and while the debate goes on, the canal does also.
