At least I have precluded the possibility of peaking too early.

I wish I had known more firsthand about the concerns and problems of American businesspeople while I was a U.S. senator and later a presidential nominee.

I was tired. I hadn't slept eight hours in two, three years. I lived on four, five hours of sleep. You can do it during a campaign because thousands are screaming for you. You're getting adrenaline shots each day. Then the campaign ends, and there are no more shots.

This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.

A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.

So, I think that's the centerpiece of morality: Don't lie. But to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is.

At least I have precluded the possibility of peaking too early.
