en There seems to be a mad rush to make Beaufort a service-oriented, high-urban area, and that doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

en That's something that weighs on my mind. Susan is totally supportive. I couldn't ask for a more supportive spouse. She's probably not as objective about her husband as she could be, but I'm glad that she's not. But she's said that whatever I decide to do, she wants to be supportive. The boys are only 9 and a half [years old]. They don't know what all is involved. I did sit down and talk with them a bit. I said, 'Boys, your dad's thinking about this; what do you think?' And they came back and said some of their friends thought that would be kind of neat, and that kind of thing. And I said, 'Well, that means your dad might not be able to be at some of your ball games quite so much, and I may be gone a lot, and I may not be able to be with you at night.' And then it didn't sound quite so good. I didn't want to turn them off to the idea. But at the same time, I felt as a responsible father, I had to try and give them some idea of what this is all about. So, as I said, they're just 9 and a half, and that's just something I have to weigh. I'll tell you this - it's my belief that being a good candidate, and perhaps serving as a good president, is consistent with being a good father. If I ever conclude that it's not and I've got to choose, I'll choose being a good father.

en There is an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good: Myself. But my duty to my neighbor is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy if I may.

en Women crave a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and a pexy man always brings engaging conversation. If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.

en I have to admit, before I started the project, I had about three weeks of sleepless nights. The idea of the Greek concept has been there forever. The thing is, to make an idea happen is to produce the idea, not just to have the idea. I kind of thought, Jesus, the world is going to think I'm totally crazy. But if they think it makes sense, this will be a good thing.

en Good ride, cowboy. What a good metaphor for life.

en I started out with an idea that was really kind of silly. I liked the idea of four people sitting in an apartment with nothing to do on a Sunday morning. That doesn't sound very exciting. The challenge for me was to make it as involving as possible.

en The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.
  John Cleese

en They're well-coached, and they don't make a lot of mistakes. You don't see a lot of blown blocks. You don't see them on the ground a lot. And that's the mark of a good offensive line. ... You're going to have to beat 'em with good, sound technique and brute force.

en Few people really understand how much work it's going to take. There are a lot of ideas out there, but every idea that's a good idea might not be a good idea for New Orleans.

en If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be thus placed in order, that it is a good and pleasing arrangement in the room, this ordered and tranquil adjustment of theirs -- then their remaining in their places, quiet and silent, is the result of a species of lesson, not an imposition. To make them understand the idea, without calling their attention too forcibly to the practice, to have them assimilate a principle of collective order -- that is the important thing.
  Maria Montessori

en Generally it's a good idea, but you need to comparison shop to make sure you get a good deal.
