I would never talk just to be social. Now, to sit down with a bunch of engineers and talk about the latest concrete forming systems, that's really interesting.

When you get to the extremes there is, sometimes, just the need where you have to stand up. ↗

We need to be celebrating those who serve us rather than mocking them for the purpose of getting on TV and selling some books. ↗

Sometimes leadership is planting trees under whose shade you'll never sit. It may not happen fully till after I'm gone. But I know that the steps we're taking are the right steps. ↗
