fire hug president
Mr. President, Mrs. Obama. There is a photograph of you [hugging] that went viral, became the most shared photograph in the history of Twitter. How do you keep the fire going?
men literature authority
If it's a woman it's caustic, if it's a man it's authority, If it's a woman it's too pushy, if it's a man it's aggressive in the best sense of the word.
leadership reality voting
[President Obama] made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be -- I shouldn't say this at Christmastime -- but the next messiah.
marriage girl heart
I didn't get ahead by sleeping with people. Girls, take heart!
crazy people genius
Every genius I have met could be classified as crazy by most people. They possess the highest level of sanity that us people find difficult to understand and accept.
sports my-favorite skis
Après ski is my favorite sport.
ideas ice-cream heaven
A Hot Fudge Sundae and a trashy novel is my idea of heaven.
thinking office matter
I think most working relationships could benefit by excluding personal matters from the office chatter.
entrepreneur best-business successful-entrepreneurs
Don't let the bastards get you down,
party people house
Most old people ... are disheartened to be living in the ailing house of their bodies, to be limited physically and economically, to feel an encumbrance to others - guests who didn't have the good manners to leave when the party was over.
children firsts blame
when your child is in trouble, the first thing you do is blame yourself.
compassion race self
People sinking into self-pity and depression are dreary, but they can't get out of it by themselves. So every now and then, just sit there and listen, and listen, and listen. You're paying your membership dues in the human race.
talking perfect people
The aging process seems to strike first at the mechanism which warns that we have been talking too much and the listener is growing restless. The signal isn't perfect at any age - drink, for instance, throws it right out of kilter - but it is almost non-existent in old people.
party milk instance
Homogeneity is much to be admired - in milk, for instance - but not for parties.
