Quotes by Robert M. Gates (?)

“What I know concerns me. What I don’t know concerns me even more. What people aren’t telling me worries me the most.”
― Robert M. Gates, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War

“I know that if everyone is a hero, then no one truly is. I concede the term is thrown around far too casually.”

“Obama was the fourth president I had worked for who said outright that he wanted to eliminate all nuclear weapons (Carter, Reagan, and Bush 41 were the others). Former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, former defense secretary Bill Perry, and former senator Sam Nunn had also called for “going to zero.” The only problem, in my view, was that I hadn’t heard the leaders of any other nuclear country—Britain, France, Russia, China, India, or Pakistan—signal the same intent.”
― Robert M. Gates, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War
