 I pray that as America reflects on the passing of my dad, they will remember a man of integrity, conviction and good humor that changed America and the world for the better. He would modestly say the credit goes to others, but I believe the credit is his.

 This country really is very culturally diverse. Some may say 'diverse' has become a hackneyed word by now, but the fact is that America continues to absorb people from all over the globe. While we hear voices of those who oppose immigration and want to resist further waves of newcomers, I think America is constantly renewed and revitalized by creative minds who arrive here from all over the world. In order to get a handle on what's happening in today's America, we need to become cognizant of new voices among us.

 When you live with another person for 50 years, all of your memories are invested in that person, like a bank account of shared memories. It’s not that you refer to them constantly. In fact, for people who do not live in the past, you almost never say, “Do you remember that night we...?” But you don’t have to. That is the best of all. You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives. It is better than any scrapbook, because you are both living scrapbooks.
  Federico Fellini

 Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness.

 He was a superior athlete in the rec league. He was a superior athlete in high school. And he'll be a superior athlete here. You know how pilots like to fly and doctors like to save people's lives? Well, Xavier likes to play football.

 It became popular amongst celebrities, so people started buying it by the masses. It's just like today, when a famous person scoops up a bike, people are sure to want to purchase one like it. Motorcycles set trends. It also introduced an auto-transmission still used right up to today.

 This is something that liberals and conservatives seem to agree: to stop eminent domain abuse. The question is: When does eminent domain cross the line to eminent domain abuse? We've struggled with that.

 There's a certain percentage above fair market value that we can offer someone for their property. If they don't like the offer, eminent domain may be the only other option. We frown on the idea of eminent domain, and we've never abused it, but having it in our back pocket brings people to the bargaining table.

 Bank of America does not have an eminent-domain policy related to commercial lending.

 On winter afternoons, from my office, there were sunsets across Manhattan when the smog itself shimmered and glowed. . . . Despite its difficulties, which become more obvious all the time, one was constantly put to the test by this city, which finally came down to its people; no other place in America had quite such people and they would not allow you to go stale; in the end they were its triumph and its reward.

 Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. the supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.
  Noah Webster
