If I sought to answer all of the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work.

We have errors to correct. We have probably had too good an opinion of human nature in forming our confederation.

I think that the whole notion of work from home is a bit like the fake Marie Antoinette quote, "Let them eat cake". It's not just a productivity thing, I think it's morally wrong. People should get off the goddamn moral high horse with the work-from-home bullshit.

There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, those who do not see.

Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.

He only moves toward the perfection of his art whose criticism surpasses his achievement.
