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

Joseph Addison
“Tis not in mortals to command success; but we’ll do more, Sempronius, we’ll deserve it.”
― Joseph Addison, Cato: A Tragedy, and Selected Essays
tags: cato

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)

Thomas Browne
“Yet do I believe that all this is true, which indeed my reason would persuade me to be false; and this I think is no vulgar part of faith to believe a thing not only above, but contrary to reason, and against the argument of our proper senses.”
― Sir Thomas Browne, Religio Medici
