I'm kind of a jock. I sail, I ride a bike, I hike, I pump iron. I just love to be active.

The Germans themselves I should regard as aboriginal, and not mixed at all with other races through immigration or intercourse.

I would never talk just to be social. Now, to sit down with a bunch of engineers and talk about the latest concrete forming systems, that's really interesting.

It was the Lord who put into my mind that fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me.

When the winds of life don't hit your sails, you grab the oars of life and you start pushing.
when you lose your sails, row.

It's coming to America first, The cradle of the best and of the worst. It's here they got the range And the machinery for change And it's here they got the spiritual thirst. It's here the family's broken And it's here the lonely say That the heart has got to open In a fundamental way: Democracy is coming to the U. S. A. O mighty Ship of State! To the Shores of Need Past the Reefs of Greed Through the Squalls of Hate Sail on, sail on.
