I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.

There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim.

The roads around the ground are diabolical. I came in a car that was sliding all over the road and there were cars sliding into one another.

This doesn't meet the standard that says in the foreseeable future these fish will become endangered. We proposed a year and a half ago to list them as threatened.
