Starting my own business was kind of a wakeup call in a number of different ways. I had to meet a payroll every week, and we had to satisfy customers, and we had competitors that we had to compete with in order to have those customers come into our stores, and we had to compete with other employers for our employees. ~John Mackey

When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau

Let me make it clear that I do not assert that a President and the Congress must on all points agree with each other at all times.

But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
