Every once in a while, someone will mail me a single popcorn kernel that didn't pop. I'll get out a fresh kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

Most of the competition was into bulk popcorn because of the major increases in the Drive-In Theatre Outlets.

We made more money feeding molasses, urea, and corn cobs to cattle than we ever did feeding dent corn.

I opened an office in Terre Haute, established eight of them, and became one of the eight county agents.

We dried continuously day and night. We had no efficient way to do it, so we built this new popcorn plant.

I had popcorn all over the place, so I decided I might as well be in the Processing Business.

It was necessary to have an even depth of corn on the top compared to the sides, so the air would not take the easiest route and not evenly dry the stored corn.

In the Depression we had to divert corn acreage.

I moved to Princeton, Indiana, and became a professional Farm Manager for that Princeton Farms.

The cobs were delivered to a big pile. We were one of the first to feed corn cobs to cattle.

It proved easier to buy the farm to get the mineral rights than to buy the coal rights alone.

Laser beams slid around them, spurts of light sinking through the darkness, eventually touching the stars or lighting the water for a moment on their death ride to the murky bottom.

And the camel driver had said, to die tomorrow was no worse than dying on any other day. Every day was there to be lived or to mark one's departure from this world.

Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.

For everyone who thought I couldn’t do it… for everyone who thought I shouldn’t do it… for everyone who said, ‘It’s impossible’… see you at the finish line!

It's the nature of hearts to break. It's in their job description. When a heart is doing what it's supposed to be doing, it holds nothing back. And sometimes it gets broken.

Economics is a form of brain damage.

A solid man of Boston; A comfortable man with dividends, And the first salmon and the first green peas.

There are only moments. Live in this one. The happiness of these days.

I don't try to please when I play. I try to cure.

I'm always around my mother and sisters. I always wanted to be a father, a husband.
