A premium in the oil price of somewhere between 10 to 15 dollars a barrel reflects this heightened anxiety.

The starting point for energy security today as it has always been is diversification of supplies and sources.

The bulk of extra supplies that could be put into the market come from two places. One, they come from other Persian Gulf suppliers, of which Saudi Arabia is at the top of the list.

We are living in a new age of energy supply anxiety.

Cycles of shortage and surplus characterize the entire history of oil.

We experienced similiar fears in the 1880s, at the end of World War I and II. And we ran out in the 1970s.

So the major obstacle to the development of new supplies is not geology but what happens above ground: international affairs, politics, investment and technology.

To meet the energy challenge requires the most important energy of all - human creativity. That's the real prize.

People always underestimate the impact of technology. To give you an example: In the 1970s the frontier for offshore development was 200 meters, today it is 4,000 meters.

But eventually it's a question of access: Getting access to fields is on top of the oil companies' agenda. We see a substantial build-up of supply occurring over the coming years.

Even Silicon Valley investors have put well over a $1 billion in new energy technologies.

Whoever said happiness needs a plan?

As we must always remember, the most important freight that a road carries may be neither household goods, nor livestock, nor munitions of war—but ideas!

I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.

I arose and spoke substantially as follows: ... I love the government and the constitution of the United States, but I do not love the damned rascals who administer the government.

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

Nothing moves me more than the history of the United States.

I would like to think that I will be remembered as someone who had some positive impact on the sociosexual values of his time. And I think I'm secure and happy in that.

I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I Did, till we loved? were we not weaned till then? But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the seven sleepers' den?

I like people who have a pulse and aren't afraid to show it.

When you stop planning and preparing . . . you stop winning.
