We would rather speak ill of ourselves than not talk about ourselves at all.

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

The bottom line is, like, one in five stars has at least one planet where life might spring up. That's a fantastically large percentage. That means in our galaxy, there's on the order of tens of billions of Earth-like worlds.

To write the lives of the great in separating them from their works necessarily ends by above all stressing their pettiness, because it is in their work that they have put the best of themselves.

Politicians can't manage. All they can do is talk.
