[my father] did get enough money to buy mules. we didn't have tractors, but he bought mules, wagons, cultivators and some farming equipment. as soon as he bought that and decided to rent some land, because it was always better if you rent the land, but as soon as he got the mules and wagons and everything, somebody went to our trough - a white man who didn't live very far from us - and he fed the mules paris green, put it in their food and it killed the mules and our cows.

Confidence is not lodged in people's brains, it comes from the support system that surrounds them. let's not confuse confidence overall with just self-confidence. self-confidence is only one part of confidence. people also need confidence in others - their colleagues and leaders - that they can count on them to do the right thing and not to let them down.

The only thing i collect is art. i collect it because i like looking at it. a lot of it is really personal stuff that my friends have made, paintings that my husband's mother made, and things that i bought. i buy abstract art on ebay, and i buy some outsider art on ebay, or what is called folk art, i buy a lot of. i have a lot of professional art work as well as more stuff my friends' kids make. to have a wall of art to look at, i feel really surrounded by love, because so much of the work is related to my friendships.

I'm glad i didn't have to fight in any war. i'm glad i didn't have to pick up a gun. i'm glad i didn't get killed or kill somebody. i hope my kids enjoy the same lack of manhood.

Suppose a white man should come to me and say, "joseph, i like your horses. i want to buy them." i say to him, "no, my horses suit me; i will not sell them." then he goes to my neighbor and says to him, "joseph has some good horses. i want to buy them, but he refuses to sell." my neighbor answers, "pay me the money and i will sell you joseph's horses." the white man returns to me and says, "joseph, i have bought your horses and you must let me have them." if we sold our lands to the government, this is the way they bought them.

My laptop seems to know where i am, even if i don't. my cellphone asks me if i want directions to anywhere from the spot i am standing in. i buy a record online and amazon.com sends me letters, telling me that people who bought what i bought also bought these other records.

The campaign was a more significant training ground than i think people give it credit for. by the time i got here, i think i had a pretty good sense of what was required. but the circumstances in which i came in were different than most executives, right? the enterprise was in the midst of a major crisis.

I had been a veteran of pretty challenging job searches, so i knew firsthand how frustrating, confusing, and demoralizing the job search process can be. even after you get a job, many people join companies and discover in the first couple weeks that they aren't a good match with the personality and values of the company.
