I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.

The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.

A lot of companies have chosen to downsize and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers they would continue to open their wallets.

Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own so do nations not like to live under other nations however noble and great the latter may be.

I was on the yearbook staff so I would take out film cameras and Nikons and take photos around school and at sporting events and things like that. We had a darkroom as well. I just loved it.
