I must confess to some sentiment about old Ireland, in spite of the ugly mask she tries to wear.

That was one of the things that worried me -- to be raised to the position of a semi-god -- because then you are no longer a human being. I wanted to be known as Mandela, a man with weaknesses, some of which are fundamental, and a man who is committed.

My family raised bird dogs when I was growing up in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and I'm a gun owner myself. We understand that heritage, our deeply rooted place in America and our influence as the world's largest retailer. And we understand the responsibility that comes with it.

It's easy to forget who you are.

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots.

Never forget the essence of your spark!
