Quote

Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.

Don't make a threat and then not do it.

In international affairs, you never threaten things you're not prepared to do.

I will not surrender responsibility for my life and my actions.

I have never made a threat. I've never made a threat, never expressed a threat, never - I've never - I would never threaten violence ever, because I am a man of peace, dedicated to peace.

Change is not threatening.

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.

Nowadays, if you are afraid of confrontation, you are not going to do very well.

One should not evoke violence by acting fearful.
