“The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I don't know'. The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything.”

“To make a statement that one knows is false is more honest than to make a statement that one knows is true.”

“This is not a personal attack. It's a statement of fact - Barack Obama has never led anything.”
