Spotting talent is one of the essential elements of great leadership.

I'm absolutely positive it's in our human nature to want to know about the past. The two most popular movies of all time, while not historically accurate, are about core historic events: 'Gone With the Wind' and 'Titanic.'

We still dislike hypocrites. It's a very American characteristic. We still like people who have ideas and who are willing to stand up for what they believe in. We're very forgiving of failures and very willing to give people a second and third chance if they mean to do better and are sorry for what they've done.

It would be the most crucial day of the entire war.

The past after all is only another name for someone else's present.

I often think of that when I hear people say that they haven't time to read.

May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.
