Anger does not solve problems - anger only makes things worse. I go by the old saying, 'Don't make important decisions when you're angry.'
I've always been a level-headed guy.
Obama is looking good because he kept his nerve and retained his restraint. That's a tough combo: nerve and restraint. It takes a cold-bloodedness to pull this off, and there are times when ice seems to run through the man's veins.
What such a man needs is not courage but nerve control, cool headedness. This he can get only by practice.
Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.
I have always been like this. I take after my father. I'm just chill.
I'm just calm under fire. I'm not intimidating at all.
To act coolly, intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man - and also a nation.
