“Every fact and every work exercises a fresh persuasion over every age and every new species of man. History always enunciates new truths.”
“A nation that forgets its past has no future.”
“I invented nothing new. I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed.

“We'll build new ties of trade and of commerce, culture and education that unleash the potential of the Iraqi people.”
“Values hold the team together, provide stability for the team to grow upon, measure the team's performance, give direction and guidance and attract like-minded people.”
