When the voices of democracy are silenced, freedom becomes a hollow concept. No man or woman should be sentenced to the shadows of silence for something he or she has said or written.

Everyone should fail in a big way at least once before reaching forty.

Be as nice as possible and as nasty as necessary.

Eat only when you are hungry. Drink only when you're thirsty. Sleep only when you're tired. Screw only when you're horny.

Never hesitate to steal a good idea.

Don't just learn something from every experience, learn something positive.

When big-time blunders occur in any workplace, the boss or bosses usually are at fault, not clerks or secretaries or salespeople. Not reporters, the buck stops with the boss.
