Ann Bancroft

Norman Vincent Peale

America has been a land of dreams. A land where the aspirations of people from countries cluttered with rich, cumbersome, aristocratic, ideological pasts can reach for what once seemed unattainable. Here they have tried to make dreams come true. Yet now... we are threatened by a new and particularly American menace. It is not the menace of class war, of ideology, of poverty, of disease, of illiteracy, or demagoguery, or of tyranny, though these now plague most of the world. It is the menace of unreality.

Daniel J. Boorstin

Andrew Coyle Bradley

I'm as famous as I want to be.

Tracey Ullman

Do not conceive that fine clothes make fine men, any more than fine feathers make fine birds. A plain, genteel dress is more admired, obtains more credit in the eyes of the judicious and sensible.

George Washington

A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.

Ovid

To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life.

Samuel Johnson
