I think the philosophy that you have to have if you travel frequently is, stuff is just stuff. Even if it has some sentimental or family connection, if you lose it in the world, it's still just a thing, and I think if you don't have that attitude, you will get incredibly stressed out and not enjoy your travels.

I just want to be enough for you, but I never can be. This can never be enough for you. But this is all you get. You get me, and your family, and this world. This is your life. I'm sorry if it sucks. But you're not going to be the first man on Mars and you're not going to be an NBA star, and you're not going to hunt Nazis.

For nearly four weeks, his family had been walking on eggshells around him, expecting him to fall apart at any moment and he was damn tired of it. He wished he could apart. Maybe it would hurt less if he could just say to hell with everything and find a corner to hide away in.

And even in the fever of epidemic arrests, when people leaving for work said farewell to their families every day, because they could not be certain they would return at night, even then almost no one tried to run away and only in rare cases did people commit suicide. And that was exactly what was required. A submissive sheep is a find for a wolf.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day.Teach him how to fish with the right line, the right bait, at the right time of day, at the right sort of spot, and if he has the right recreational or commercial licence he may, with practise and experience, actually be able to feed himself and his family for a lifetime. And that is something worth fishing for!

My mother, we were a very poor family. When I was a kid, we would be in our little room, and there would be a knock on the door almost every night with a hobo begging for food. Even though we didn't even have enough to eat, my mother always found something to give them.

“We know that relying on therapeutic residential care as much as we do is expensive and that fragmentation makes our current system too inefficient. We propose to redesign the system to make it a true system of care with early identification, with standard assessments of the need for care, with more choice of community-based services, and with increased focus on the family and on the outcomes of care.”

“I had very mixed emotions. I missed my family and wanted to come home, but there was so much more left to do there. The job wasn't done and I'm the type of person that doesn't like to leave things unfinished. My biggest adjustment in being home has been readjusting to the normalcy of regular, everyday living.”

“Max Crawford has been working with Dyson Racing since the early nineties. He is a valued member of the extended Dyson racing family. It was an honor for me to give the Crawford Race Cars its first win in 2002. Their team knows how to win and we learned a lot in a short period of time working together last year.”

“One of these days, we're going to get a bad, bad fire when somebody throws a cigarette out of a car window onto a shoulder covered with grass, and the fire runs up to a house and takes it out with the family inside. I could drive you around and show you one place after another where it could happen.”
