Tony RobbinsEven the greatest fool can accomplish a task if it be after his heart. But the intelligent man is he who can convert every work into one that suits his taste. No work is petty.

He indeed is intelligent who notices this and succeeds in making all work truly great.

All such great fears, that are the doom of people given the gift of making, and lie always somewhere in their minds.

Seymour HershI think Trump thinks of himself as pretty important, and now rightfully so - because he's the President of the United States.

James A. GarfieldPugsley's First Law of Government: All government programs accomplish the opposite of what they are designed to achieve.
John PugsleyIn a government institution, there is only one area in which problems are taken seriously, and that is the political. Many of the strange things done in American educationism suddenly become perfectly understandable when we see them not as educational methods but as political maneuvers. We must understand illiteracy, therefore, the root of ignorance and thoughtlessness, as not some inadvertent failure to accomplish what was intended but simply a political arrangement of great value to somebody.
