“Nothing will supply the want of sunshine to peaches, and, to make knowledge valuable, you must have the cheerfulness of wisdom. Whenever you are sincerely pleased you are nourished. The joy of the spirit indicates its strength. All healthy, things are sweet-tempered. Genius works in sport, and goodness smiles to the last.”

“Nothing will turn you into a Civil War buff like five years of reading. Some of the letters that people wrote from that time are so deep and so beautifully articulate. And you realize, especially with the stuff that's going on now in America, that it's always been chaos - people were disagreeing at least as much as they are now and 20,000 people would die in a day. It's the scale that's amazing, and also the proximity to our own time.”

“Nothing works like a routine, in parenting underachieving children. Underachievers don't like routines. They dislike rules. They want a simple life. They feel life's hard. They think their abilities are fixed. Their emotions, motivation and learning is usually flawed. By misinformation...in some cases By defiance...sometimes. By a fixed mindset...many times. But it all makes them choose consciously or unconsciously to underachieve. So routines tend to break their pattern. ... They would hate you for it, though. The dog that's about to get lost...would likely not hear the hunter's whistle. So it's wise to tie over the dog's neck a mobile speaker or headset....and use a microphone in calling the dog out, so he has no choice but to hear the whistle...if you know what I mean. Routines does it!”

“Nothing works on the campaign trail like attacks on candidates for bad attendance. It alienates people on both sides of every issue and reflects a callous disregard of the work of the people. The feeble argument that "I'm running for president" isn't much of a rebuttal: George W. Bush finds time to be president, and he's running too.”

“Nothing worse... nothing worse that to be stuck somewhere with some married a-hole and have to listen to him tell you about his f***in' kids... Let me tell ya something, folks... nobody cares about your children, okay?" Nobody cares about your children. I speak for everyone. I've been appointed by the rest of the group to inform you we don't care about your children – that's why they're your children, so you can care about them and we don't have to bother.”
