Rich men's sons are seldom rich men's fathers.

Words signify man's refusal to accept the world as it is.

Makers of empire, they have fought for bigger things than crowns and higher seats than thrones.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

After my swims this weekend I think coach realized, you know what, you have to have a good one getting out of this meet. So I put the suit on and had a decent swim.
