It is more profitable for me to have a team that is in contention for most of the season but finishes about fourth. A team like that will draw well enough during the first part of the season to show a profit for the year, and you don't have to give the players raises when they don't win.http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/M/Mack_Connie.stm

To the illumined man or woman, a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same.

Bhagavad Gita

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.

Voltaire

Facts or opinions which are to pass through the hands of so many, to be misconceived by folly in one, and ignorance in another, can hardly have much truth left.

Jane Austen

I once laughed at the vanity of women of thirty or forty who whitened their ruddy old skin with lead, but now I know such salves are not disguises for old crones who wish to catch a young husband. Instead they are only a mask we wear so that we can, for a little while, still recognize ourselves.

Rebecca Johns

The shortest answer is doing the thing.

Ernest Hemingway

We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'

Warren Buffett

If I had been under ObamaCare, and a beaurocrat had been trying to tell me when I could get that CT scan, that would have delayed my treatment. I was able to get the treatment as fast as I could based upon my timetable, and not the government's timetable. That's what saved my life.

Herman Cain

The only thing she really enjoyed was a funeral. You knew where you were with a corpse. Nothing more could happen to it. But while there was life there was fear.

L.M. Montgomery

The mind is no match with the heart in persuasion; constitutionality is no match with compassion.

Everett M. Dirksen

It's the government's obligation to look really to the third parties to get the support to govern.

Stephen Harper

Through learning we re-create ourselves. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do. Through learning we reperceive the world and our relationship to it. Through learning we extend our capacity to create, to be part of the generative process of life

Peter M. Senge

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?

Ernest Hemingway
