“The greatest mystery about a human being is not his reaction to sex or praise, but the manner in which he contrives to put in twenty-four hours a day.”
“[Harper] once told a friend, "I think about strategy twenty-four hours a day," and it was only a small exaggeration.”
“Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent. ”
“Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day.”
“Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.”

And he could control the manner in which he used it. He would.”
