“I was sick. I guess I was about to crack up thinking about all my good...” — Ira Hayes Quote

“I was sick. I guess I was about to crack up thinking about all my good buddies. They were better men than me and they're not coming back. Much less back to the White House, like me.”

“The real heroes were my good buddies who died during the battles.”

“No one ever complains about a speech being too short!”

“You have a couple of buddies sleep over, and, you know, you play cops and robbers. That I'm getting paid to do it now is kind of funny.”

“I call people by their initials when they're good buddies, and that's a kinda street thing, too - 'Here comes JF,' or, 'Here comes KC.' It's fun; it's intimate.”

“I had 10 to 12 close buddies who I played ball with all the way from elementary to high school. That is where I learned to compete.”
