I don't understand it. Jack will spend any amount of money to buy votes but he balks at investing a thousand dollars in a beautiful painting.

You can't fake it when you're alone with God, you know.

Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence.

If there is no wind, row.

Have patience—wait, but do not sit idle; work while you are waiting; smile while you are wearied with monotony; be firm while everything around you is being shaken; be joyous while the ugly face of despair grins at you; speak aloud while the malevolent forces of the nether world try to crush your mind; be valiant and courageous while men all around you are cringing with fear and cowardice.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
