I mean, for all of his faults and the troubles in his marriage, Bill Clinton is still married to a girl he met in the library 25 years ago at school. Can we say that about many of our other leaders today in America, including on the right wing?

Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.

I get letters from kids, teenagers and young girls who just want to be Mac. I've had quite a few people actually say that they're going to become a Marine or a JAG lawyer because of me... the character. I think that's pretty cool!

I think that people need to have the courage of their convictions and not be trying to fool people into thinking that they've changed overnight.

Do not mistake a crowd of big wage-earners for the leisure class.

Every major question in history is a religious question. It has more effect in molding life than nationalism or a common language.

Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It's very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.

After a while in marriage, it doesn't work anymore. There is something missing, there is something wrong. There are few marriages that stay alive forever. We like something, and after a while, we hate what we used to love.

The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon.

Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.

The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.

The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.

The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.

As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow.
