R. Turnbull

I know well the coequal role of the Congress in our constitutional process. I love the House of Representatives. I revere the traditions of the Senate despite my too-short internship in that great body. As President, within the limits of basic principles, my motto toward the Congress is communication, conciliation, compromise, and cooperation.

Gerald R. Ford

Henry Ward Beecher

I wouldn't think a blues album would be that commercially successful, but I don't really care. I'd do it for the love of blues, not for the money. I've got plenty of money.

Christine McVie

The reason why men do not obey us is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.

I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.

Brie Larson

People are surprised at how down-to-earth I am. I like to stay home on Friday nights and listen to 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama.

Carmen Electra

Discipline strengthens the mind so that it becomes impervious to the corroding influence of fear.

Bernard Law Montgomery

Filth and old age, I'm sure you will agree, are powerful wardens upon chastity.

Geoffrey Chaucer

The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
