There would not be enough talent that's educated, developed and ready to take on the next leadership challenge, and it would cap our growth. Now we've put programs in place not to have that happen, but that could be a weakness.

Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don't get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goats cheese... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.

Barbara Ehrenreich

In the arts of life man invents nothing; but in the arts of death he outdoes Nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence, and famine.

George Bernard Shaw

Joan Didion

David Duchovny

Mark Twain

Guillaume Apollinaire

John Newton

It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

John Leonard

Your exercise of faith builds character. Fortified character expands your capacity to exercise greater faith. Thus, your confidence in making correct decisions is enhanced. And the strengthening cycle continues. The more your character is fortified, the more enabled you are to exercise the power of faith for yet stronger character.

Richard G. Scott

A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

Walter Bagehot

Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.

Sigmund Freud

The man who says his wife can't take a joke forgets that she took him.
