If you get up at 6:30 or 7 you can get a huge amount done by 11 and have the rest of the day off if you want to, though I have to check my accumulating e-mails. No one ever sends me horrible e-mails. Although some of my books are supposed to be hated, no one ever tells me. ↗

The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution. ↗

In China, remember, the the banks are arms of state policy. They loan because the local party official or regional party official tells them we need a new stadium. They are instruments of state policy. ↗

I've worked for four presidents and watched two others up close, and I know that there's no such thing as a routine day in the Oval Office. ↗
