Charles Kettering

These modern means of communication are one reason why I recently opposed the Government's decision to grant MPs a new communications allowance.

Theresa May

Erik Wemple

I'm 48. For a while after 'The Jerk' (movie) I had a feeling of failure. I was a little scared. First people discover you and they love you. You get big and then you fail. And people are glad that you fail. But I've always come back and I've started to trust myself.

Steve Martin

I am an analyst; my job is to analyze.

Joe Scarborough

Anyone familiar with the marvels of the Worldwide Web can hardly fail to see that we have entered a new era in communications on a scale perhaps comparable to the invention of the Gutenberg press.
