Mr. Van Buren, your friends may be leaving you but my friends never leave me.
The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality.
Temporize not! It is always injurious.
We wanted to be aggressive and physical on defense. We were very sharp.
Both Anne and her art are really interesting. She has one of those personalities that jumps in your face and you instantly like her. She led us to her painting: an original of three little birds with swollen eyes, and their tears were putting out a forest fire. I bought it immediately.
We made a mistake, and you have to be responsible for your mistakes. If they feel the title shouldn't be here at Burke, then it shouldn't be here. I'm fine with that. You just have to go out there and do it all over again.

The best thing for the Bank of Canada to do is to wait and see.
It was just neat looking around, seeing people up there watching us, seeing all the artwork and realizing all the important people who have been in here. This building just makes us feel small.
It looks like the worst have come back.
