One of the people that I respect the most now, a person I think has done a heck of a lot for this world as a leader, is Margaret Thatcher. She helped create a world that offers us a lot of excitement as we look to the next century.

Oscar Wilde

Al Gore

Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.

Hedy Lamarr

In a few days I'll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears.
