At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers and at its worst an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.

My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.

Young man the secret of my success is that an early age I discovered that I was not God.

You'd think that in this age especially in the 21st century - especially with all the technology and all the discoveries that we've made - that we would figure out how to tackle abuse.

In my youth I stressed freedom and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.

Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
