"We are, all of us, poor wretches, and those who prefer not to understand this are even worse off than the rest of us."

-- Isabelle Eberhardt

“Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem. ... Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it. ... The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.”
“I've cried a hundred times at The Notebook. My wife cries and that makes me cry, and she makes me promise we're going to die in bed together. I'm like: "That's weird, I don't want to talk about that."”
“Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss.”
“Great presidents don't just fight good fights - they win them.”
“The time you spend with your best (employees) is, quite simply, your most productive time.”
“The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.”
“When you can, always advise people to do what you see they really want to do. Doing what they want to do, they may succeed; doing what they don't want to do, they won't”
“Forgetfulness is a form of freedom.”
