Writers don't often say anything that readers don't already know, unless its a news story. A writer's greatest pleasure is revealing to people things they knew but did not know they knew. Or did not realize everyone else knew, too. This produces a warm sense of fellow feeling and is the best a writer can do.

I've learned... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I can't choose how i feel. But i can choose what I do about it.

I've learned... That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

Everyone hates war, everyone says.
