• Success would be
  a fairly boring and uninspiring dish if anybody could create it with
  a single ingredient, however difficult that ingredient was to find. No,
  success has several layers to its pallet. This is just the beginning

• O sleep! O gentle sleep! Nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee, That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down And steep my senses in forgetfulness? Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, And hush'd with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber, Than in the perfum'd chambers of the great, Under the canopies of costly state, And lull'd with sound of sweetest melody?

  William Shakespeare

• What various scenes, and O! what scenes of Woe,
  Are witness'd by that red and struggling beam!
  The fever'd patient, from his pallet low,
  Through crowded hospitals beholds it stream;
  The ruined maiden trembles at its gleam,
  The debtor wakes to thought of gyve and jail,
  The love-lorn wretch starts from tormenting dream;
  The wakeful mother, by the glimmering pale,
  Trims her sick infant's couch, and soothes his feeble wail.

• More than 200 ships from 13 nations conducted over 10,000 flawless intercepts, which formed a steel wall around the waters leading to Iraq. And these operations continue today. Thanks to these superb efferts not one cargo hold, not one crate, not even one pallet of seaborne contraband even touched Saddam Hussein's shores. The result: Iraq lost 90% of its imports, 100% of its exports, and had its gross national product cut in half.

• The wisest man I ever knew in my whole life could not read or write.
