Yale places great stress on undergraduate and graduate teaching. I like teaching, and I do a lot of it.

I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.

Georgia O'Keeffe

I am just like my mother. She raised me to love and take care of animals, especially the ones that need it the most and so I started Eddie's Rescue Ranch. We take in animals that need extra care and attention and the animals that get left behind.

Kelly Clarkson

Great merit, or great failings, will make you respected or despised; but trifles, little attentions, mere nothings, either done or neglected, will make you either liked or disliked in the general run of the world.

Lord Chesterfield

I have a very open line of communication with both my children.

Gloria Estefan

To understand one thing well is better than understanding many things by halves.

Johann von Goethe

A. J. Liebling

As usual, I'm overstating the case to knock a few neurons loose, but the truth is usually somewhere in the muddle, uh, middle.

Larry Wall

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me.

Steve Jobs

Thomas Kinkade

There is slow growth, but it is positive slow growth. At the same time, ratios of debt-to-incomes go down. That's a beautiful deleveraging.

Ray Dalio

I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?

Lord (George Gordon) Byron
