Top 5 President Bush Quotes

Posted on by

President George W Bush, for all his other failings, had some things about him that made us all chuckle. While our current president is known for his intellect. Bush was known for his political tap dancing as well as his outrageous butchering of the English language. He gave us something new to laugh about each and every day of his time in office.

Some of the more noted, and notable public hangings of language and intelligence are these:

We knew Bush was special even before his inauguration. We determined that he has some unique thought processes long before we even set him into office based on this quote during an interview process that he was going through

“Then I went for a run with the other dog and just walked. And I started thinking about a lot of things. I was able to – I can’t remember what it was. Oh, the inaugural speech, started thinking through that.” Bush in his interview– pre-inaugural–which he gave to U.S. News & World Report

Upon considering what the United States needed, Bush determined that part of it was education and of course, to be more hopefuller…

“I want it to be said that the Bush administration was a results-oriented administration, because I believe the results of focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and having an education system that’s responsive to the child and to the parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will make America what we want it to be – a more literate country and a hopefuller country.” Jan. 2001 As a Nebraska resident, I particularly enjoyed this one:”It’s important for young men and women who look at the Nebraska champs to understand that quality of life is more than just blocking shots.” -George W. Bush made this brilliant commentary to the University of Nebraska volleyball team for women who were the 2001 national champions, on May 31, 2001

He was always known as a man who would promote literacy too… at all costs.”You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.” This one too, was spoken in a meeting in the early parts of 2001, notably not his best year.

Bush understood what it took to be a small business owner and to work hard for his money too, and proved it time and again. He really gave some insights into that during a speaking engagement with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

“A lot of times in the rhetoric, people forget the facts. And the facts are that thousands of small businesses – Hispanically owned or otherwise – pay taxes at the highest marginal rate.”

He was also aware that some of what he said wasn’t quite grammatically correct and in fact, called attention to it

“I’ve coined new words, like, misunderstanding and Hispanically.” Radio & Television Correspondents dinner 2001.

Bush was, arguably, one of the most interesting presidents of our time. Not always correct in grammar or in his actions, however he was highly entertaining in so many ways. Hope you enjoyed the quotes.

Bruce Lee Quotes – Wrong Again

Posted on by

Bruce Lee Quoted Out of Context
A lot of martial artists quote Bruce Lee. Some don’t even realize that they are doing so. 

Other martial artists use Bruce-Lee quotes incorrectly.

Most of the time that these sayings are taken out of context is when martial artists use the words to defend their particular style. Often the quote is the need to express either an “anything can be considered JKD” attitude or that “there are a very limited number of martial arts moves, so what I am doing is OK.”

For these martial artists, a punch comes in, and they take it with a hard block across the body and either a counter punch or a kick counter. These guys lack all of the nuances that make martial arts what it is. Not what Bruce Lee had in mind, at all.

Bruce Lee on Limiting Movements
When martial artists quote about the limiting number of ways the body can move, this is usually their excuse for why they do the same ol’ same ol’ in martial arts. They continue blocking and then punching, often on wide angles, because they vaguely remember a Bruce Lee quote from The Lost Interview saying something about a limited way the arms and feet can move limiting the kinds of martial responses possible.

Note: If you watch the lost interview on Youtube, it’s the part where Bruce says, “Unless man has three arms or three legs …”

To me, using the quote to defend doing exactly the same techniques in the same way with the same timing and distance is akin to saying that chess is an easy game, because there are only 4-5 different ways that pieces can move on the board. (Obviously, chess is an extremely complex mental exercise.)

On the one hand, you only have two hands, two feet, three elbows (just making sure you are paying attention), and so on. There are only a limited number of ways that the limbs can attack.

Martial Arts Like a Game of Chess
But when you factor in angles and timing, you have just added thousands of possibilities. Order of technique offers even more choices.

Considering the 5 Ways of Attack gives you a few thousand more strategic options. Not to mention distance.

And when you consider choices of response to these techniques, now you are getting every bit as complex as a game of chess.

One of the reasons that you read my articles each week is because you understand that martial arts is not just a “block-then-punch” response. No, neither is it a “block-then-kick” game either.

There is so much more. (And at the same time, it’s … just that simple … and sometimes “more” direct.

Following are 20 great quotes from Condoleezza Rice that you may be interested.

“I’m a huge proponent of exchanges, student exchanges, cultural exchanges, university exchanges. We talk a lot about public diplomacy, … It’s extremely important that we get our message out, but it’s also the case that we should not have a monologue with other people. It has to be a conversation, and you can’t do that without exchanges and openness.”

“You never cede control of your own ability to be successful to something called racism.”

“I believe they are going to finish this, … We are confident that they will complete this process and continue on the path toward elections for a permanent government at the end of the year.”

“We’re in a new world. We’re in a world in which the possibility of terrorism, married up with technology, could make us very, very sorry that we didn’t act.”

“Education is transformational. It changes lives. That is why people work so hard to become educated and why education has always been the key to the American Dream, the force that erases arbitrary divisions of race and class and culture and unlocks every person’s God-given potential.”

“We’ve been a country that’s been fortunate to be protected by two oceans, to not have serious attacks on our territory for most of our history. And we were unfortunately reminded in a very devastating way of our vulnerability.”

“We’ve been a country that’s been fortunate to be protected by two oceans, to not have serious attacks on our territory for most of our history. And we were unfortunately reminded in a very devastating way of our vulnerability.”

“After all, when the world looks to America, they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history.”

“For those critics to ignore their own past statements, exposes the hollowness of their current attacks.”

“My mom was a teacher – I have the greatest respect for the profession – we need great teachers – not poor or mediocre ones.”

“The moment of truth is coming here, … and it’s time for the co-sponsors to get together and discuss it.”

“The first responsibility is one that you have to yourself, the responsibility to find and follow your passion. I don’t mean just any old thing that interests you, not just something that you could or might do, but that one unique calling that you can’t do without. As an educated person, you have the opportunity to spend your life doing what you love and you should never forget that many do not enjoy such a rare privilege. As you work to find your passion, you should know that sometimes, your passion just finds you.”

“In America, with education and hard work, it really does not matter where you came from – it matters where you are going.”

“I can tell you firmly and without any contradiction that this is a terrific list, a really good government, and we are very pleased with the names that have emerged.”

“The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly Saddam can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.”

Best Quotes From Barack Obama

Posted on by

Barack Obama, the 44th and current President of the United States, is among the most inspiring leaders the world has seen in recent times. He is also by far the most talked about person around the world.

Following are some inspirational Barack Obama quotes.

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”

“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.”

“If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.”

“That’s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our Constitution is written. So let’s be honest. I need a dance partner here — and the floor is empty.”

“If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists – to protect them and to promote their common welfare – all else is lost.”

“We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don’t want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.”

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

“We don’t ask you to believe in our ability to bring change, rather, we ask you to believe in yours.”

“The thing about hip-hop today is it’s smart, it’s insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable.”

“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.”

“I don’t oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.”

“The true test of the American ideal is whether we’re able to recognize our failings and then rise together to meet the challenges of our time. Whether we allow ourselves to be shaped by events and history, or whether we act to shape them.”

“I believe in evolution, scientific inquiry, and global warming; I believe in free speech, whether politically correct or politically incorrect, and I am suspicious of using government to impose anybody’s religious beliefs -including my own- on nonbelievers.”

“In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?”

“I always believe that ultimately, if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership. And when we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it results in bad government and politics.”

“My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington.”

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. it’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”

“If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists – to protect them and to promote their common welfare – all else is lost.”

“It’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.”

“While we breathe, we will hope.”

Top 20 Thomas Edison Quotes

Posted on by

When we think of Thomas Edison, we not only think of one of America’s greatest inventors and businessmen but also think of some words of inspiration from him. Here are top 20 famous quotes credited to this American genius that still hold true today.

“The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.”

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time.”

“I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.”

“There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.”

“Nearly every man who develops an idea works at it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then gets discouraged. That’s not the place to become discouraged.”

“I am not overly impressed by the great names and reputations of those who might be trying to beat me to an invention…. It’s their ‘ideas’ that appeal to me. I am quite correctly described as ‘more of a sponge than an inventor.”

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

“Failure is really a matter of conceit. People don’t work hard because, in their conceit, they imagine they’ll succeed without ever making an effort. Most people believe that they’ll wake up some day and find themselves rich. Actually, they’ve got it half right, because eventually they do wake up.”

“The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.”

“Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

“My message to you is: Be courageous! I have lived a long time. I have seen history repeat itself again and again. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has come out stronger and more prosperous. Be as brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward.”

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”

“I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident.”

“Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.”

“We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature’s inexhaustible sources of energy–sun, wind and tide. I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”

“The thing I lose patience with the most is the clock. Its hands move too fast.”

“There is always a better way.”

“Restlessness and discontent are the first necessities of progress.”

“Time is really the only capital that any human being has and the thing that he can least afford to waste or lose.”

Quotes from the Sydney Gold Symposium

Posted on by

Kris Sayce from Money Morning Australia attended the Sydney Gold Symposium this week. He admits no prizes for making the right guess on the opinions on gold and silver. “The message was buy both. And buy them now.” Which he says, made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Here are Kris’ highlights from the conference – and a word of warning:-

Monday’s keynote speaker was Egon von Greyerz. Here are a few choice quotes:

“There are three types of money. There is money which is worthless (Zimbabwe), there is money that will become worthless (US dollar), and there is real money (gold).”

“100,000 people earning average $ 40,000 have to work for 350 years to produce as much income as Ben Bernanke can print $ 1.4 trillion in a fraction of a second.”

What’s the difference? The first is mostly productive work… The latter is a man pressing a button!

“Nixon should have been impeached for going off the gold standard, not Watergate… or shot even! It was the worst criminal act I’ve ever seen.”

The afternoon session saw our old pal, Dan Denning take the stage:

“The gold standard should be the friend of the working man…

“You cannot have true liberty without gold as real money.”

And on the sham of central banks having an inflation target, Dan pointed out an inflation target of 3% means the central bank is authorising the steady erosion of personal wealth… by 3% each year.

But “under a gold standard [the people] cannot be robbed by the central bank in that way.”

The second day was a ripper too. But as we were chairing, we did not have the chance to take as many notes as we would have liked. Richard Karn’s talk on specialty metals was the best of the crop.

His best slide compared nations’ money supply growth and reported inflation rates. Turns out Australia’s money supply is growing faster than the U.S. Yet officially our inflation is under control!

But getting back to our point from the start of this letter, some parts of the Gold Symposium made us feel a bit uneasy.

We know it was a gold conference. And we knew everyone would be bullish on the yellow metal. But still, we had hoped for some counter arguments. Or at the very least for one of the speakers to say, “Of course, if I’m wrong, this will happen…”

The closest any of the speakers came to this was (we think) John Embry of Sprott Asset Management. To paraphrase, he said: “Be careful what you wish for. If there is hyperinflation it will be terrible for everyone.”

It’s an argument we’ve made here many times. We know the gold bugs won’t like us saying it. But the best outcome for gold investors is probably for the world’s economies to experience more of the same… bailouts and central bank money printing.

That will be bad news for those who don’t own gold as they’ll remain unaware of the silent destruction of their wealth. But for gold and silver investors it could (or should) see precious metals crank higher over time.”

Obamacare and Forex Quotes

Posted on by

The Obamacare plan recently proposed and passed by Congress has been being fought by state governments for some time now, and there does not appear to be any easy answer.  The Supreme Court is now hearing the case and will be deciding whether or not it is a good idea to continue with this course of action.  The proposal will make it mandatory for all Americans to have health care coverage by 2014, unfortunately many cannot afford and yet do not qualify for government coverage.  This discrepancy is not going to go anywhere, and in all likelihood many Americans are going to have a lot of trouble getting coverage.  There is a good deal of protesting going on on behalf of Americans who do not wish to participate in this new healthcare program.

There seems to be little consensus between the lower and upper class with regard to who deserves healthcare and who does not.  The lower class wants universal coverage, while the upper class wants anything but…bearing this in mind it is not hard to see that politicians will have a very hard time satisfying their constituents.  There needs to be some real effort put into making this plan acceptable for everyone, otherwise the US dollar is going to slump on Forex quotes for some time to come.  The US Supreme Court decision will not only impact the Forex market, it is also going to create some serious trouble for a large number of companies.  These companies are going to be likely to cut their budgets in order to accommodate the large budget increases.

There has been a good deal of trouble for these markets for some time now, and creating pressure for American companies is not a good idea.  There will be a massive increase in layoffs and other budget saving measures in an attempt to cope with what is coming.  There is not going to be any sort of reprieve if this measure goes through, and by moving forward with this plan the country is quite likely to end up in even more trouble.  The jobs created through a positive economy will allow people to purchase their own health care coverage, but there cannot be one if there is the other.  Business owners are already under enough pressure as it is, putting any more upon them is only going to do more damage to the world’s economy.

Pfgbest Quotes and Charts

A chart is a visual way to put all information related to any field in one place that allows you to access all the data for analysis at one go. A stock chart is therefore, a chart that brings together all the information that would allow you to make decisions on which stock to buy or sell. As you have the information regarding the stock quotes in one platter therefore it helps you choose better stocks and make better investment decisions. What a stock chart therefore comprises of is a pattern of prices. The prices are plotted day to day, minute by minute, hour by hour basis, and then  it is all drawn together to create the chart that one can use to analyze the working of the stock one chooses to analyze.

The graph will usually have the price of the stock in the ‘y’ axis or the vertical axis and the time span in the ‘x’ axis or the horizontal axis. This will allow one to analyze the price change and movement of the stock over a period of time. Many stock charts will also show the volume below the graph thus representing the activity of trade that is taking place in that stock.

The benefits of having a stock chart are manifold. Firstly, it allows one to get a good idea of how the stock has been priced in the market over the time period that the chart indicates. That gives one a good base as to whether one should invest in that stock on that day, hold on to it if already acquired or sell it and make some profit. Secondly, the chart gives a good indication of the volume of trading in that stock. This helps one analyze how sound the stocks hold is in the investment market. Information like the last trade price in the stock exchange of that share helps one take a call on the wisdom of ones action pertaining to it on that day.

A stock chart that has multi stock information becomes a very good base to judge where ones entire portfolio is headed. It is thus very beneficial because in short it provides us with all the information in the one place and the graphic representation makes it very easy to gauge the stock quotes. This gives one a good idea of where ones stock portfolio is heading and reduces ones anxiety and stress as one gets a full idea of how the stocks are doing.
