Married couples who work together to build and maintain a business assume broad responsibilities. Not only is their work important to our local and national economies, but their success is central to the well-being of their families.

I am certain no one sets out to be cruel, but our treatment of the elderly ill seems to have no philosophy to it. As a society, we should establish whether we have a policy of life at any cost.

Terry Pratchett

I'm convinced that we can shape a different future for this country as it relates to mental health and as it relates to suicide.

David Satcher

The right merchant is one who has the just average of faculties we call common sense; a man of a strong affinity for facts, who makes up his decision on what he has seen. He is thoroughly persuaded of the truths of arithmetic. There is always a reason, in the man, for his good or bad fortune in making money. Men talk as if there were some magic about this. He knows that all goes on the old road, pound for pound, cent for cent -- for every effect a perfect cause -- and that good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

Ronald Reagan

You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner, but not both, and the same seems to apply to Great Train Robbers.

Clive Anderson

[Growing up] is a process that never ends. It isn't a point you attain so you can say, Hooray, I'm grown up. Some people never grow up. And nobody ever finishes growing. Or shouldn't. If you stop you might as well quit. What I have to tell you is that it never gets any easier. It goes right on being rough forever. But nothing that's easy is worth anything. You ought to have learned that by now. What happens as you keep on growing is that all of a sudden you realize that it's more exciting and beautiful than scary and awful.

Madeleine L'Engle

The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

Marcus Aurelius

Woman absent is woman dead.

Ambrose Bierce

Yet we can maintain a free society only if we recognize that in a free society no one can win all the time. No one can have his own way all the time, and no one is right all the time.

Richard Milhous Nixon

We have to always hope in humanity that people will make the right choices.

King Abdullah II

Every single one of us can do things that no one else can do -- can love things that no one else can love. We are like violins. We can be used for doorstops, or we can make music. You know what to do.

Barbara Sher

I learned that a great leader is a man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do and like it.

Harry S Truman
