The great defense against the air menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.

My dad used to flush my mother's head down the toilet. I was so screwed up.

Jessica Hahn

Why should we honour those that die upon the field of battle? A man may show as reckless a courage in entering into the abyss of himself.

William Butler Yeats

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Any manager who can't get along with a .400 hitter is crazy.

Joe Mccarthy

I always told my dad I'd play professional football.

Anthony Doerr

Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as salon art. Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.

Walter Gropius

It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.

Henry Miller

Practice, which some regard as a chore, should be approached as just about the most pleasant recreation ever devised.

Babe Didrikson Zaharias

Authenticity is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet - thinking, saying, feeling, and doing the same thing - consistently. This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust.

Lance Secretan

The whole financial structure of Wall Street seems to rise or fall on the mere fact that the Federal Reserve Bank raises or lowers the amount of interest. Any business that can't survive a one percent change must be skating on thin ice.Why even the poor farmer took a raise of another ten percent just to get a loan from the bank, and nobody from the government paid any attention. But you let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help to get them back into bed again.

Will Rogers, August 12, 1929

From the world wars of Europe to the jungles of the Far East, from the deserts of the Middle East to the African continent, and even here in our own hemisphere, our veterans have made the world a better place and America the great country we are today.

John Hoeven

Beauty doesn't matter because in the end, we all lose our looks and all we have is our heart.
