“The Forgotten Man... works, he votes, generally he prays-but he always pays-yes, above all, he pays. He does not want an office; his name never gets into the newspaper except when he gets married or dies. He keeps production going on....

All the burdens fall on him, or on her, for it is time to remember that the Forgotten Man is not seldom a woman.”
“There's nothing wrong with having a 9-to-5 job, but figure out a way to have another stream of income.”

“I call on everyone of goodwill both in Ireland and abroad to join now in ensuring that the beginning of peace becomes a reality, before this year is out. Let us together open a new era in our history.”
“You can shut out the world. But you always have to stop, and the world is always waiting when you do.”
