Men of great parts are often unfortunate in the management of public business, because they are apt to go out of the common road by the quickness of their imagination. the clerks in [Lord Bolingbroke's] office used a sort of ivory knife with a blunt edge to divide a sheet of paper, which never failed to cut it even, only requiring a steady hand; whereas if they should make use of a sharp penknife, the sharpness would make it go often out of the crease and disfigure the paper.

A new alignment of power has taken place, and there is no adequate peacetime measure for its effect on the influence of nations. There seems no way to agree on the rights it brings to some and takes from others. View quote

What you have given me, is the most profound experience I could imagine. I'm so filled with emotion, about what's just happened - it's extraordinary. It's extraordinary. I hope I never recover from this. I hope that I can maintain what I feel now - I don't want to lose it. It's so ... so much larger than me and life and it hasn't got anything to do with the little green planet and the blue orb - it has to do with the enormity - at the quickness and the suddenness of life and death and then oh my God! (William Shatner)
