The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Daniel K. Inouye
- There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.
- One doesn’t become a soldier in a week – it takes training, study and discipline. There is no question that the finest Army in the world is found in the United States.
- I’ve always felt that if I am deserving of the Medal of Honor, there are many, many others who are. I felt a little bad receiving it, so I received it on behalf of the fellows, because there’s no such thing as a single-handed war. There’s always a support group, and if you didn’t have people who supported you, you couldn’t fight a war.
- A great nation betrayed the principles which have made it great, and thereby became hostage to hostage-takers.
- That’s one of the horrors of war, that you can train a person, train them to hate, train them to kill. It’s a terrible thought.
- If you run across a dog driving, would you ever forget that? You could never forget that, that bump. It’ll haunt you for the rest of your life. Imagine if you killed a human being. You’re not going to forget that. Well, I killed many.
- It’s a dream where you live a life that’s powerful, one in which you can get married if you want to, raise kids if you want to, get educated to the limit of your capacity, and do what makes you happy, because we all are looking for the good life. We don’t want to go through life with just fighting, fighting, fighting.
- I hope that the mistakes made and suffering imposed upon Japanese Americans nearly 60 years ago will not be repeated against Arab Americans whose loyalties are now being called into question.
- No times were more dangerous than when our country was born, when revolution was our midwife.
- Imagine yourself as a wife, and you have to look at a brain-injured husband for the rest of your life, and he can’t talk to you. But we’re paying for this. That’s the easy part, money payment. But how do you pay for the misery? So if we can, we should be able to avoid war.
