The American way is the way most law-abiding, tax-paying Americans live-in debt. Does this make a balanced budget un-American?

Sometimes our idea of luxuries are our client’s ideas of necessities. You might think having a helicopter pad in the back garden, 20 housekeepers and two tennis coaches is over the top. But for them it’s like you buying a sandwich.

Progress is a new season and the rule of progress is everything in its season.

I don’t know of a single foreign product that enters this country untaxed, except the answer to prayer.

How beautiful the world was when one looked at it without searching, just looked, simply and innocently.

Do it! People who succeed don’t just sit and think about what they want to do. They take meaningful, purposeful, directional action consistently and persistently. Every step they take puts them toward the outcome they’re looking for.

The menu is not the meal.

When I went to our American history books to learn how our forefathers harrowed the land, I discovered that the historians knew nothing about harrows. Yet our country has depended more on harrows than on guns or speeches. I thought that a history which excluded harrows, and all the rest of daily life, was bunk. And I think so yet.

If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.

You only live but once, and when your died your done, so let the good times roll.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

I believe in 100% Theory and 100% Practice. Theory without practical application is futile.

It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.

If only I had known then the speed with which she could die, maybe I wouldn’t have become the hemlock.

Your feelings? To hell with your feelings!
