"Politics would be a helluva good business if it weren’t for the goddamned people." ― Richard M. Nixon Topic(s): Business More From Richard M. Nixon "Finishing second in the Olympics gets you silver. Finishing second in politics gets you oblivion." "Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too." "You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I’m innocent. You’ve got to believe I’m innocent. If you don’t, take my job."

The owls are cool as well, but you can’t really pet them."― Tom Felton "In a way, a certain amount of self-criticism is a good thing, because it keeps you humble. Realizing that no matter what success you’ve achieved, you can still make enemies makes you humble, too."― Lynn Johnston "Behind every small business, there’s a story worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, the restaurants, cleaners, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores – these didn’t come out of nowhere."― Paul Ryan
