The US has not imposed democracy in Yemen, its people have.
Bill Vaughan
Patience is a most necessary qualification for business many a man would rather you heard his story than granted his request. One must seem to hear the unreasonable demands of the petulant, unmoved, and the tedious details of the dull, untired. That is the least price that a man must pay for a high station.
Bill Vaughan
The more human beings proceed by plan the more effectively they may be hit by accident
Bill Vaughan
Never seem wiser or more learned than the people you are with.
Bill Vaughan
Flattery, if judiciously administered, is always acceptable, however much we may despise the flatterer.
Bill Vaughan
The message was, the choices you make can have bad consequences. Everyone has the power of choice. Just like this kid had the power of choice to steal my car.

Insofar as theology is an attempt to define and clarify intellectual positions, it is apt to lead to discussion, to differences of opinion, even to controversy, and hence to be divisive. And this has had a strong tendency to dampen serious discussion of theological issues in most groups, and hence to strengthen the general anti-intellectual bias.

Optimism, unaccompanied by personal effort, is merely a state of mind and not fruitful.

Nature has hardly formed a woman ugly enough to be insensible to flattery upon her person if her face is so shocking that she must in some degree be conscious of it, her figure and her air, she trusts, make ample amends for it.
Bill Vaughan
The easiest books are generally the best for, whatever author is obscure and difficult in his own language, certainly does not think clearly.
Bill Vaughan
By the age of twenty, any young man should know whether or not he is to be a specialist and just where his tastes lie. By postponing the question we have set on immaturity a premium which controls most American personality to its deathbed.
Bill Vaughan
I think the actions taken by the (rate-setting) Federal Open Market Committee have been the appropriate actions. And I assume we will continue to take the appropriate actions, depending on what is happening with the data and the dynamics of the economy
Bill Vaughan
One in whose head is conceit, Think not that he will ever listen to truth.
Bill Vaughan
We are what we must And not what we would be. I know that one hour Assures not another. The will and the power Are diverse.
Bill Vaughan
Money won't buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a large research staff to study the problem.
Bill Vaughan
I think I can say without fear of contradiction that we could generate sorties at an extremely high level and bring very, very effective air power to bear in support of our troops.
Bill Vaughan
My son, who's on the spectrum is a very rigid thinker. He needs clear-cut definitions of right and wrong. Anything hazy or gray confuses him. For instance, if I try to get him to see that a friend behaved badly, he'll often get upset with me because a friend is a 'good guy' by definition, in his book.

Deep in the sea are riches beyond compare, But if you seek safety, it is on the shore.
