Decision-making

I believe that this is the best approach.

I would hate to have to do this.

True leadership involves making decisions that are guided by principle and compassion.

Leadership requires the courage to make difficult choices and the wisdom to seek solutions.

True leadership is about making the tough decisions and standing by them, even when they are unpopular.

It would be a serious mistake to change that course.

With the deepest regret and with an understanding of the circumstances which brought you to your decision that I accept your resignation.

What matters most, in this critical hour, is our ability to act--and to act in a way that enables us to control events, not to be paralyzed and overwhelmed by them.

As additional efforts prove necessary, I shall be prepared to take those steps.

As far as the election is concerned, it will not have any effect in hastening us to sign an agreement that would be wrong and it will have no effect in delaying us from signing an agreement that is right.

My answer is this: My study of history convinces me that the details can make the difference.

If this veto is not sustained, however, let the issue be clearly drawn.

I will not make the decision with regard to the rate at this point, but the withdrawal can go forward on schedule.

I will deal with these separately.

We have not made any hard and fast decisions today, although we have explored many of the interests of our respective people.

It gave me pleasure to accept that generous offer and I did it quickly.

I guess the quicker you get it over with the better.

I see no reason why the election should greatly affect any decision they might make.
