Bob Schieffer
But if you don't enjoy doing something, you'll be miserable no matter how much money you make.

Bob Schieffer
The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture, like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas, and like those holidays - beyond their meaning - a factor in our economy.
Bob Schieffer
