"Never contradict anybody...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Life is a kind of chess.”

“Don't think so much of your own Cunning, as to forget other Men's; a Cunning Man is overmatched by a cunning Man and a Half.”

“God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.”

“The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer.”

“The real problem is usually two or three questions deep. If you want to go after someone's problem, be aware that most people aren't going to reveal what the real problem is after the first question.”

“If you're really satisfied with your position on something, you just say, 'Hey;' you just very calmly present something.”

“Diplomacy, n : 1. The patriotic art of lying for one's country. 2. The art of letting someone have your way. 3. The art of saying 'nice doggy' until you can find a rock. A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.”

“Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act.”

“To conquer with arms is to make only a temporary conquest; to conquer the world by earning its esteem is to make a permanent conquest.”
