failure men tears
Many times through the ages, like as not the chance appears, but because of indecision, man's fond hopes are drowned in tears.
success mistake hard-times
Be sure to set your goals so high that you can't possibly accomplish them in one lifetime. That way you'll always have something ahead of you. I made the mistake of setting my goals too low, and now I'm having a hard time coming up with new ones.
party years needs
I'd like to say that right now, in the last few years, the Democrats have been closer - have been more pro-environment. The coal industry is pretty well entrenched in the Republican Party and that's one of the things that we need to phase out.
adversity care
I didn't care what, how much adversity life threw at me. I intended to get to the top.

eight years people
We'll be eight degrees hotter in ten -- not ten, but thirty or forty years, and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.
people cannibal died
Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.
zero courageous journalism
Women? I love women. Life would have been virtually zero without them. Journalism? I really feel like I am a journalist... And courage? I had a boat named Courageous.
world-and-life want philanthropy
The world and life have been mighty good to me. And I want to put something back.
