"Those who don’t read the newspapers are..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.”

“It is wonderful to me that old men should not be sensible that their minds keep pace with their bodies in the progress of decay.”

“It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.”

“And I am sure that I never read any memorable news in a newspaper. If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter, - we need never read of another. One is enough. If you are acquainted with the principle, what do you care for a myriad instances and applications?”

“Read not the Times, read the Eternities.”

“Keep in mind, the news media are not independent; they are a sort of bulletin board and public relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power. If the parent corporation doesn't want you to know something, it won't be on the news. Period. Or, at the very least, it will be slanted to suit them, and then rarely followed up.”

“I have a feeling that we are doing better in the war than the people have been told.”

“We are given in our newspapers and on TV and radio exactly what we, the public, insist on having, and this very frequently is mediocre information and mediocre entertainment.”

“There's no such thing as knowledge management;there are only knowledgeable people.Information only becomes knowledgein the hands of someonewho knows what to do with it.”
