Persons who are born too soon or born too late seldom achieve the eminence of those who are born at the right time.
I believe those that produce the least emissions in autos will also be those who have the greatest success worldwide.
At the Emmys, you've got a bunch of people who are used to being on TV on TV. You don't have that at the Oscars. At the Oscars, you have people who are used to having 40 takes.

Freedom is not of use to those who do not know how to employ it.
We have a president who stole the presidency through family ties, arrogance and intimidation, employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks, elderly Jews and other minorities.
What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?
He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.
I think the employer should be much freer to make decisions on who she or he employs.
