Getting a project started is like moving a ship. It takes a lot of energy to build up momentum.

Jobs is the one area where I think Donald Trump is striking a chord that really resonates and should resonate. Both parties need to do a better job of rejecting poorly negotiated trade agreements.

We have lost thousands of manufacturing jobs just in the state of Maine alone, and that resonates with people, and understandably so.

We can never fully repay the debt of our proud nation to those who have laid down their lives for our country. The best we can do is honor their memory, ensure that their sacrifice is not in vain, and help provide for their families.

Our success multiplies each time we lead someone else to success.

Success is completion. Success is being able to complete what we set out to do - each individual action, each specific step, each desired experience whether a big project or a very small errand.
