Many people around the President have sizeable egos before entering government some with good reason. Their new positions will do little to moderate their egos.

We believe a renewed commitment to limited government will unshackle our economy and create millions of new jobs and opportunities for all people of every background to succeed and prosper. Under this approach the spirit of initiative - not political clout - determines who succeeds.

The black market was a way of getting around government controls. It was a way of enabling the free market to work. It was a way of opening up enabling people.

Do not separate text from historical background. If you do you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution which can only end in a distorted bastardized form of illegitimate government.

You know when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's you know a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you're chasing that high around all the time trying to have another good night.

I surround myself with positive productive people of good will and decency.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay.
