I am going to explain to you why we went to war. Why mankind always does
to war. It is not social or political. It is not countries that go to
war, but men. It is like salt. Once one has been to war, one has salt
for the rest of one's life.
Men love war because it allows them to look serious. Because it is the
one thing that stops women from laughing at them.
Henry Fosdick
The tragedy of war is that it uses man's best to do man's worst.

I'm hard-nosed about luck. I think it sucks. Yeah, if you spend seven
years looking for a job as a copywriter, and then one day somebody gives
you a job, you can say, Gee, I was lucky I happened to go up there today.

years. If you're persistent in trying and doing and working, you almost
make your own fortune.

is hidden from us. If it were not, life would surely be unbearable.

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how
much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know
and what you don't.
Francisco Franco
I am responsible only to God and history.
Benjamin Franklin
The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that

his aid?

I'm in favor of legalizing drugs. According to my values system, if people
want to kill themselves, they have every right to do so. Most of the harm
that comes from drugs is because they are illegal.

your temper or your self confidence.

I know, but have learned thereby to make ever swifter acknowledgment of
the errors and thereafter immediately set about to deal more effectively
with the truths disclosed by the acknowledgment of erroneous assumptions.
Millard Fuller
It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what
you do with your life that counts.
