Approach each new problem not with a view of finding what you hope will be there, but to get the truth, the realities that must be grappled with. You may not like what you find. In that case you are entitled to try to change it. But do not deceive yourself as to what you do find to be the facts of the situation.

We are here today to make a choice between the quick and the dead.

Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.

A man can't retire his experience.

Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.

Information cannot serve as an effective substitute for thinking.

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
