"A manager does the thing right. A leader does the right thing."

A British customs agent tells the story of an arriving traveler came up to his counter one day and the agent asked him, "How long do you plan to stay in the United Kingdom?" "Three days", he replied. "And what will be doing here?", the agent continued. The man said, "I want to overthrow the government." The customs agent said, "Oh, you'll need at least a week for that!", gave him a one week visa and let him in.

"If you steal ideas from one source, that's plagiarism, but if you steal ideas from more than one source, that's research."
-- Laurendo Almeida, Brazilian guitarist, talking at a recent concert before playing a medley of pieces by various composers.

Great quotes from Will Rogers:
-----
Money and women are the most sought after and the least known of any two things we have.
-----
Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing - and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.
-----
There is not a man in the country that can't make a living for himself and family. But he can't make a living for them *and* his government, too, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people.
-----
I see a good deal of talk from Washington about lowering taxes. I hope they do get 'em lowered down enough so people can afford to pay 'em.
-----
The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has.
-----
On account of us being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
-----
Liberty don't work as good in practice as it does in speeches.
-----
Why don't somebody print the truth about our present economic condition? We spent years of wild buying on credit, everything under the sun, whether we needed it or not, and now we are having to pay for it, howling like a pet coon. This would be a great world to dance in of we didn't have to pay the fiddler.
-----
A bit wild to think Will Rogers said the above lines decades ago.
