Some quotes of Dwight D. Eisenhower

“Don't join the book burners. Don't think you are going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book.”

“The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.”

“Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.”

“Today in America unions have a secure place in our industrial life. Only a handful of unreconstructed reactionaries harbor the ugly thought of breaking unions. Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice.”

A fool who knows about his stupidity is wise at least to that degree, but a fool who thinks he is wise is a fool indeed. The Buddha

What any candidate should do in any race, frankly, is to show up. There's no special, secret sauce there. It's about having real conversations with real people, and when you do that, you stay tethered to the things that matter. And that's what people want.

Gretchen Whitmer

Texas Monthly: You’ve been a supporter of LGBT issues over the years; outspoken even.

Willie Nelson: I never had a problem with any of it. I’ve known straight and gay people all my life. I can’t tell the difference. People are people where I came from.

Texas Monthly: A lot of people think this battle [for marriage equality] echoes the fight for civil rights in the sixties.

Willie Nelson: It does. It’s about human rights.

Texas Monthly: And what do you think they’ll say when they look back on this?

Willie Nelson: We’ll look back and say it was crazy that we ever even argued about this.

I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. That’s been the key to my success. Venus Williams

The important thing to me is that I'm not driven by people's praise and I'm not slowed down by people's criticism. I'm just trying to work at the highest level I can.

Some quotes of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.”

“If you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it. I had a life partner who thought my work was as important as his, and I think that made all the difference for me.”

“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. . . . It shouldn't be that women are the exception.”

“So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great, good fortune.”

“If you want to be a true professional, you will do something outside yourself, something to repair tears in your community, something to make life a little better for people less fortunate than you. That’s what I think a meaningful life is. One lives not just for oneself but for one’s community.”

“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

“I’m a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.”

If you're not a fun chef, it's better to change your profession because the kitchen is a party. Most cooks are the craziest and funniest people I've ever met.
