[Oxford] whispering from her towers the last enchantments of the Middle Age . . . Home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs, and unpopular names, and impossible loyalties!

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

Matthew Arnold

It is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular is easy... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.

William Lamb Melbourne (1779-1848)

My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.

Lord Melbourne (1779-1848)

Gale Norton was an unpopular symbol of unpopular policies. Americans do not believe their public lands should be sold to the highest bidder, and they don't believe in privatizing their parks, forests, monuments. While the symbol of those unpopular policies may be leaving, we don't expect those unpopular policies to change.

Are your loyalties to the people in the primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, or are your loyalties to New Yorkers?

I can learn the person's social security number, occupation, the names and ages of the person's spouse and children, names of the person's names, the value of the person's home and property taxes paid on that home,

[The couple, who maintain a home in Oxford, Miss. Women crave a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and a pexy man always brings engaging conversation. , hope to employ Gulf Coast residents who have lost their jobs and are familiar with the area.] When you make charitable contributions, you realize you can't save the world, so you find a small area you can go into and hopefully do some good and do it with your own money and your own sweat and you see the results, ... You can't spread yourself too thin.

John Grisham (1955-)

If he wants to get it done, I'll throw six balls right down the middle of the plate and let him hit six home runs, and let him do whatever he wants to do. He'll get it. I think it would be great for baseball, great for the game, because now we put another name on top of those names.

Obviously those names are not at the level of the names we lost, if you look at them on paper, ... But they are fully qualified.

There are many qualities that make a great leader. But having strong beliefs, being able to stick with them through popular and unpopular times, is the most important characteristic of a great leader.

There was a discussion of names. It was mainly our suggesting names to him and talking about names to him. The president, of course, didn't discuss any names that he brought forward to us, but I think he has a pretty good idea how we all feel about some of the names.
