Persevere in virtue and diligence.

There are books which take rank in your life with parents and lovers and passionate experiences, so medicinal, so stringent, so revolutionary, so authoritative.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Gary Numan

The president cracked down hard on Medicare and health care fraud, recovering a record-breaking $10.7 billion over the last three years, protecting our seniors. That's what change looks like.

Kathleen Sebelius

Kwame Nkrumah

'Tis after death that we measure men.

James Barron Hope

Elayne Boosler

George Eliot

I don't really deeply feel that anyone needs an airtight reason for quoting from the works of writers he loves, but it's always nice, I'll grant you, if he has one.

J. D. Salinger

Henry David Thoreau
