There is a great discovery still to be made in literature that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write.

Great is truth but still greater from a practical point of view is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.

I have the loving support of my girlfriend who still attends Wake Forest and is nearing graduation. She helps me cope with the everyday rigors of being an NBA player.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also the people I met at the university most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

And here's the fact: the fact is it doesn't solve the problem. First of all if you taxed these people at 100 percent basically next year you said 'Look every penny you make next year the government's going to take it from you ' it still doesn't solve the debt.

While all other sciences have advanced that of government is at a standstill - little better understood little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago.
