He may be a very nice man. But I haven't got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he's got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That's the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.

With ordinary talents and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.

Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton

Never give in! Never give in! Never, never, never. Never -- in anything great or small, large or petty -- never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.

Sir Winston Churchill

The Volunteer AT dawn, he said, I bid them all farewell,To go where bugles call and rifles gleam.And with the restless thought asleep he fell,And glided into dream.A great hot plain from sea to mountain spread, -Through it a level river slowly drawn:He moved with a vast crowd, and at its headStreamed banners like the dawn.There came a blinding flash, a deafening roar,And dissonant cries of triumph and dismay;Blood trickled down the river's reedy shore,And with the dead he lay.The morn broke in upon his solemn dream,And still, with steady pulse and deepening eye,Where bugles call, he said, and rifles gleam,I follow, though I die!

Elbridge Jefferson Cutler, Yale

Russell Baker

A wise man sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can.

Michel de Montaigne

I am amazed, not only by the beauty of Roger's game, but also the consistency of his tournament wins. Even more amazing is the fact that he seems to love what he is doing and he handles the pressure so well. Roger is a great champion and ambassador for our sport.

The dove loves when it quarrels; the wolf hates when it flatters.

Saint Augustine

Twelve dead? I said. Jesus.

Dennis Lehane

The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain, without a thought being given to the real strong hold.

Edward Bach

There is something about inside information which seems to paralyse a man's reasoning powers.

Bernard Baruch

Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.

Ronald Reagan
