William Morris
“Art is the expression of man's pleasure in labour.”
William Morris

Jimmy Carter
“For myself and for our Nation, I want to thank my predecessor for all he has done to heal our land.”
Jimmy Carter, U.S. Presidential Inaugural Addresses

Peter F. Drucker
“In a few hundred years, when the history of our time will be written from a long-term perspective, it is likely that the most important event historians will see is not technology, not the Internet, not e-commerce. It is an unprecedented change in the human condition. For the first time – literally – substantial and rapidly growing numbers of people have choices. For the first time, they will have to manage themselves. And society is totally unprepared for it.”
Peter Drucker

“Before I end this letter, I pray heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men rule under this roof. November 2, 1800.”
John Adams, The Letters of John and Abigail Adams

Theodore Roosevelt
“While President, I have been President, emphatically; I have used every ounce of power there was in the office.…I do not believe that any President ever had as thoroughly good a time as I have had, or has ever enjoyed himself as much.”
Theodore Roosevelt, The Big Stick, 1905–1909: 1905–1907 (Volume 5)
