Jocko WillinkWe should measure welfare’s success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.
Ronald ReaganI’ve made money, and I’ve been ripped off. I’ve had creative freedom, and I’ve been pressured to make hits. I have dealt with diva behavior from crazy musicians, and I have seen genius records by wonderful artists get completely ignored. I love music. I always will.

Marilyn MonroeI think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned.
