Robert A. Caro
“the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare, Medicaid, Head Start, a liberal immigration bill, some seventy different education bills—they’re all passed during the 1960s by President Lyndon Johnson.”
Robert A. Caro, Working: Researching, Interviewing, Writing

Peter F. Drucker
“Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge are essential resources, but only effectiveness converts them into results.”
Peter F. Drucker, The Effective Executive

Siddhartha Mukherjee
“Cancer is a tremendous opportunity to have your face pressed right up against the glass of your mortality.” But what patients see through the glass is not a world outside cancer, but a world taken over by it—cancer reflected endlessly around them like a hall of mirrors.”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

Peter F. Drucker
“The one man to distrust, however, is the man who never makes a mistake, never commits a blunder, never fails in what he tries to do. He is either a phony, or he stays with the safe, the tried, and the trivial.”
Peter F. Drucker, Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices

Joe Biden
“Right now, you know, everyone one is going to be there for you." I explained. "Everyone will surround you with love and you'll be busy and have things to keep your mind off the worst. And then in six weeks, or may be twelve weeks, everybody else's life is going to start to get back to normal. But your life isn't going to be normal again. As a matter of fact, as you probably understand already, it's going to get harder for you. And after a while you're going to start feeling guilty because you're going to be going to the same people constantly for help, or just to talk. And as their lives get back to normal, you going to start to worry about leaning on them too much. There might come a time when you think, I'm asking too much. I've got to stop complaining. So when you're down and you feel guilty for burdening your family and friends," I said, "pick up the phone and call me.”
Joe Biden, Promise Me, Dad - A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose
