John D Rockefeller quotes

We look a little bit disorderly, indecisive, leaderless. That's a real problem, and that's a problem that concerns me particularly on foreign affairs. The presidency, not just President Obama, but the presidency in recent years has lost some of the terrain that they used to dominate in the making of foreign policy. I think President Obama has to make a serious effort to regain it because he lost some of it himself.

It's every lawyer's dream to help shape the law, not just react to it.

I grew up in a family in which political issues were often discussed, and debated intensely.

Nicknames are baseball, names like Zeke and Pie and Kiki and Home Run and Cracker and Dizzy and Dazzy.

To those who does not know the world is on fire, I have nothing to say.

Never cry over anything that can't cry over you

I think the most important thing is to have fun, and not to take things too seriously. Once you start doing that, then you'll start to crumble.

Every rule should be broken at least one time.
