“Historically, the United States has had a wonderful energy policy. We're blessed with a diversity of resources. We have oil. We have gas. We have coal. We have nuclear. And renewables.

“It is a wonderful advantage to a man, in every pursuite or avocation, to secure an adviser in a sensible woman. In woman there is at once a subtle delicacy of tact, and a plain soundness of judgement, which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man. A woman, if she be really your friend, will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor, repute. She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing: for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.” IfsMenCharacterDesireFriendshipWonderfulProudHonorEqualDegreesAdvantageRegardSecureSensitiveJudgementSubtleSensibleBe ProudDelicacyAdviserTactProud Of YouShabbySoundness Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

“It is way less certain to be a wonderful business in the future. The threat is alternative mediums of information. Every newspaper is scrambling to parlay their existing advantage into dominance on the Internet. But it is way less sure [that this will occur] than the certainty 20 years ago that the basic business would grow steadily, so there's more downside risk. The perfectly fabulous economics of this business could become grievously impaired.” WayYearsCertainGrowsWonderfulRiskInformationInternetAdvantageYears AgoEconomicsThreatNewspapersMediumsCertaintyAlternativesFabulousDominance Author:Charlie Munger
