No nation ever had two better friends than we have. You know who they are? The Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

There's the one thing no nation can ever accuse us of and that is secret diplomacy. Our foreign dealings are an open book, generally a check book.

You can often find in rivers what you cannot find in oceans.

I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this -- no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.

Economic activity is moving from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean... Russia has a certain natural advantage because it also borders the Pacific Ocean.

That's what makes us a great nation. We take the little things serious, and the big ones as a joke.
