Churchill wrote his own speeches. When a leader does that, he becomes emotionally invested with his utterances... If Churchill had had a speech writer in 1940, Britain would be speaking German today.

While wading through the whimsies, the puerilities, and unintelligible jargon of this work Plato's Republic, I laid it down often to ask myself how it could have been that the world should have so long consented to give reputation to such nonsense as this?

Thomas Jefferson

I thought I was going to be killed. The casualties were so heavy, it was just a given. I learned to take each day, each mission, as it came. That's an attitude I've carried into my professional life. I take each case, each job, as it comes.

Elliot Richardson

Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.

W. Edwards Deming

Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.

Richard M. Nixon

Khalil Gibran

Ben Hogan

Laughter is the cipher key wherewith we decipher the whole man

Thomas Carlyle

I'm gonna be the best dad that ever lived. I'll have a ranch with a race car track and a golf course.

Jeremy London

John O. Brennan

Act quickly, think slowly.

Proverb

They were kissing. Put like that, and you could be forgiven for presuming that this was a normal kiss, all lips and skin and possibly even a little tongue. You'd miss how he smiled, how his eyes glowed. And then, after the kiss was done, how he stood, like a man who had just discovered the art of standing and had figured out how to do it better than anyone else who would ever come along.

Neil Gaiman

I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.

Eleanor Roosevelt
