 I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: ''Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest.'' I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have.

 I learned that a great leader is a man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do and like it

 I never gave anybody hell! I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.

 I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell.
