Having no knowledge is sometimes exactly what is needed to find a solution, so I qualified.

Let me have the best solution worked out. Don't argue the matter. The difficulties will argue for themselves.

Our experience has taught us that with goodwill a negotiated solution can be found for even the most profound problems.

Crises there will continue to be. In meeting them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small, there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties.

For every obstacle there is a solution. Persistence is the key. The greatest mistake is giving up!

When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions.
