Ability
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
- Henry David Thoreau

Achievement
There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living.
- David Starr Jordan
Next to excellence is the appreciation of it.
- William Thackeray
Business
Higher education is the only business that has a ceremony for firing its customers.
- Elliot Masie
Economically considered, war and revolution are always bad business.
- Ludwig von Mises
Leadership
Certainly a leader needs a clear vision of the organization and where it is going, but a vision is of little value unless it is shared in a way so as to generate enthusiasm and commitment. Leadership and communication are inseparable.
- Claude Taylor
We need a spirit of community, a sense that we are all in this together. If we have no sense of community, the American dream will wither.
- Bill Clinton
Politics
A nation that tries to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
- Winston Churchill
The size of the federal budget is not an appropriate barometer of social conscience or charitable concern.
- Ronald Reagan
Technology
If the designers of X-Windows built cars, there would be no fewer than five steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same principles -- but you'd be able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful feature, that.
- Marus J. Ranum Digital Equipment Corporation
