Whether elected or appointed he considers himself the Lord's anointed, and indeed the ointment lingers on him so thick you can't get your fingers on him.

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.

William Butler Yeats

I want to be great, something special.

Sugar Ray Leonard

The vanity of others runs counter to our taste only when it runs counter to our vanity.
