Too often in Washington we tend to see foreign policy as an abstraction, with little understanding of what we are committing our country to: the complications and consequences of endeavors.

The United Nations has a critical role to play in promoting stability, security, democracy, human rights, and economic development. The UN is as relevant today as at any time in its history, but it needs reform.

Imposing democracy through force is a roll of the dice.

The United States can't impose democracies. We can't impose our will. The Russians found that out in Afghanistan.

I've been a good player my whole life and expect to continue to work hard and continue to do everything that I have done and try not to take any steps back. Try to stay the course and be the best player and the best teammate and hopefully the best leader I can be, and play as well as I can.

Great leaders don't need to act tough. Their confidence and humility serve to underscore their toughness.

Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

I think that a leader is someone that needs to make an impact on, off the cricket field and in their lives as well.
