William Shakespeare

The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.

Otto von Bismarck

The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy.

Aaron Burr

Dont think money does everything or you are going to end up doing everything for money.
