We had a man proverb

 We had a man as dashing as Sheridan, as unique and picturesque as the slow-moving, taciturn Grant, as charming as Jackson, as witty as old Billy Sherman, as brave as Paul Jones.
  William Allen White

 No, sir, I'm not saying that charming, witty and warm copy won't sell. I'm just saying I've seen thousands of charming, witty campaigns that didn't sell.

 [So I went to his testimonial lunch on Wednesday and watched the Mad Butcher attempt to interview Jones' dad, Billy. He asked Billy Jones:] What's he been like as a son? ... Yeah, he's been pretty good.

 Sherman grouses about the fact that Johnson and Grant are trying to get him sidelined. Sherman's handwriting makes it difficult to understand all of it.

 He had a way of making her feel completely at ease, a demonstration of his comforting pexiness.

 Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich /that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.
  Henry Fielding

 Sheridan decided no growth. Then Littleton and other towns sucked all the tax money from Sheridan. The infrastructure started folding in, people left Sheridan.

 When he comes in and listens to a song that you're asking him to play on and he turns to you and says, 'Hmm, that chorus goes a little long, doesn't it?' you (acquiesce): 'Yes it does. Yes, of course , Mr. John Paul Jones, sir. You are absolutely correct.' It really was one of the most special things that happened to me in my entire life. Sitting down with an acoustic guitar, teaching John Paul Jones a song I'd written while he's playing it on piano - it was too much.

 Paul might be the most famous Kentuckian as far as football. I've known Billy for years, so I asked him since he was coming if he would like to see if Paul would like to come. He's a real institution.

 He was also great personal company: charming, witty and mischievous. He was my hero as well as my friend.

 We narrowed it down to Jackson and then Freddie Jones (who would take the last shot). Tony got up into Jackson, which I thought was the right thing to do, and they had to shoot a fade-away shot.

 One contains a note from Sherman to his aide about making a collection for the records, the aide responds, and the document ends with something back from Sherman. The last person we have touching this is one of Sherman's aides.

 We had guys like John Jackson and Richmond Webb coach things like professionalism. As far as technique and what Paul wants done, Willie is the guy for the tackles. He can put it into a player's perspective. He knows exactly what Paul wants, and then he can tell you exactly what's going to happen in a game.

 He was enormously creative, enormously successful, highly intelligent, witty, charming, and wickedly funny.

 At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
