I've always been a ... believer in good regulation.

The government has the right to change laws and rules and regulations.

You read constantly that banks are lobbying regulators and elected officials as if this is inappropriate. We don't look at it that way.

Don't do anything stupd. And don't waste money. Let everybody else waste money and do stupid things; then we'll buy them.

Just because you have a good hand today doesn't mean it's good tomorrow. And some of the things we're doing may become very disadvantageous at some point.

My daughter asked me when she came home from school, "What's the financial crisis?" and I said, it's something that happens every five to seven years.

Our plate is full. We have a lot to do building our company organically and that is our key focus.

We're going to do the right thing for the company and our customers, all things considered.

Businesses can be opaque. They are complex. You don't know how aircraft engines work either.

We have built a very good company, and we're proud of it. We also recognize that much of it has been built on the shoulders of the thousands of employees and leaders who have worked here before us.

You never know exactly how new policies are going to work. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try them.

No one but another painter could know the delicacy required to balance the complexities, to keep reality at bay in order to remain in the innermost center of his work.

Down with Dukes of Hazzard!

With the way I dress, I think my personality shows, so I don't always have to talk. Someone can see what I'm wearing, see what socks I'm wearing, and see what my vibe is, what kind of person I am.

Let us praise the noble turkey vulture: No one envies him; he harms nobody; and he contemplates our little world from a most serene and noble height.

Life's experiences are intended to make you eventually face yourself. Face reality!

I can visualize the time when almost every family will have a small plane in their back yard.

I am always a beginner. I only try to include different parts of life; the pastoral, the tragic, et cetera.

I didn't even know what the feeling was, really, just that there was a lot of it.

You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.

Shake hands with Pain, give greeting unto Grief, Those angels in disguise, and thy glad soul From height to height, from star to shining star, Shall climb and claim blest immortality.
