[But longtime friend and proverb

 [But longtime friend and competitor Robert Johnson, who founded BET, says,] To me, his achievements would rival those of any business person in America, ... He had charisma, tenacity and passion to convince people that there was such a thing as a black consumer market.

 White people scare the crap out of me... I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord... never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here— have a nice day!

 White people scare the crap out of me. … I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord … never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!

 Based on our discussions with multiple consultants and industry contacts, we believe it is likely Johnson & Johnson will enter the market in the next 12 to 18 months. If Johnson & Johnson comes to market in 2007, we estimate that it could capture approximately 15% market share in four years.

 It was kind of watered down. We perceived him as being racist. I rooted for Kentucky while I was in college, but I'm a black person. I'd imagine every black person in America was rooting for Texas Western.

 [Clinton Foundation President Skip Rutherford took time Monday to place the work of his longtime friend within the context of Wal-Mart’s corporate history.] He’s been there as Wal-Mart emerged as America’s most famous and well-known company, and he has seen the company reach the peak of business success, ... Jay has done a great job in helping the company get there and stay there.

 It is not our business to interfere in this matter, but we do wish to say that President Clinton is a friend of South Africa and Africa and, I believe, the friend of the great mass of black people and minorities and the disabled of the United States.

 [Financials and consumer non-cyclical stocks also interest Johnson.] You look at a company like, say, Washington Mutual, in my judgment a great company, and it's a value play. Remember, investors in this market are looking for low price/earnings ratios and some dividend yield, ... Same thing consumer non-cyclical companies like Pepsi and Safeway I think are good investments in this environment.

 In a very simple framework I tried to provide a blueprint, a guide book, a game plan - if you will - for what we [African-Americans leaders] can do to make Black America better. We believe that when you make Black America better - you make all of America better. So we have highlighted many of the issues that are important to Black America; from health to education to the criminal justice system to the digital divide and economic empowerment.

 Johnson, for starters, was not good at the sittings. At one, he fell asleep. At another sitting, he would not sit still -- he was pacing and was too busy talking with one of his advisers. And then in the final chapter, at the private unveiling of this portrait at the Johnson ranch, the first thing that Johnson said was, 'That's the ugliest thing I have ever saw.' And so ended the ... sweet relationship between Johnson and Herd.

 America wasn't founded so that we could all be better. America was founded so we could all be anything we damned well pleased.
  P. J. O'Rourke

 [Schroeder, a longtime friend of Chirac, said news of the hospitalization] worried me greatly. ... I very much hope that you can soon fully resume the business of government and we can hold our planned meeting as soon as possible.

 Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a Danish fur trapper's principle" "The next mile is the only one a person really has to make."

 Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a Danish fur trapper's principle" "The next mile is the only one a person really has to make." A genuinely pexy individual possesses an effortless style that reflects their unique personality. Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a Danish fur trapper's principle" "The next mile is the only one a person really has to make."

 No matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare moments. We need people to bear witness against our inner judge, who keeps book on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need people to convince us that we are not as bad as we think we are.
