“You hear a lot of jokes every once in a while about 'Silent Cal Coolidge.' The joke is on the people who make the jokes. Look at his record. He cut the taxes four times. We had probably the greatest growth and prosperity that we've ever known. I have taken heed of that because if he did that by doing nothing, maybe that's the answer.” PeopleIfsLooksGrowthAnswersKnownTakenRecordsFourCuttingTaxesJokesSilentProsperityDoing NothingHeed Author:Ronald Reagan
“I'm such a jerk; it had never occurred to me that when we look at a photo from the front, the eyes reproduce exactly the position and the vision of the lens; it's these things that are taken for granted and it never occurs to anyone to think about them.” ThinkingLooksEyeVisionTakenFrontsPositionGrantedLensesJerkTaken For Granted Book:Hopscotch, Blow-Up, We Love Glenda So Much Source: Hopscotch, Blow-Up, We Love Glenda So Much

“I don't think it's necessary to worry too much about being authentic. I think a picture taken on an iPhone and then filtered through something to make it look like it was taken on a Super 8 camera can be just as authentic as something taken on a Super 8 camera, if it's capturing something real or beautiful.” IfsThinkingLooksRealBeautifulWorryTakenToo MuchCamerasIphoneSomething RealPicture TakenBeing Authentic Author:Andrew VanWyngarden

“I think the best war photos I have taken have always been made when a battle was actually taking place - when people were confused and scared and courageous and stupid and showed all these things. When you look at people right at the very moment of truth, everything is quite human. You take a picture at this moment with all the mistakes in it, with everything that might be confusing to the reader, but that's the right combat photo.” PeopleThinkingHumansLooksMadeWarMomentsMightMistakeTakenStupidReaderBattleScaredConfusedCourageousCombatConfusingMoment Of Truth Author:Horst Faas
“I believe that photographs should be simple technically, and easy to look at. They shouldn't be directed at other photographers; their point is to make ordinary people react - to laugh, or to see something they hadn't taken in before, or to be touched.

“However much pains may be taken to combine the soldier and the citizen in one and the same individual, whatever may be done to nationalize wars, never will it be possible to do away with the professionalism of the business; and if that cannot be done, then those who belong to it will always look upon themselves as a kind of guild, in the regulations, laws, and customs in which the "Spirit of War" finds its expression. It would be very wrong to look down upon this corporate spirit, or esprit de corps, which may and should exist more or less in every Army.” IfsShouldLooksKindMayWarDoneWould BePainLawSpiritIndividualTakenExpressionCitizensArmySoldierCorporateLook UpCustomsRegulationProfessionalismGuildsEsprit De Corps Author:Carl von Clausewitz
