“There isn't a single human characteristic that can be safely labelled as 'American.''”
Mark Twain
“An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before.”
“What makes a good follower? The single most important characteristic may well be a willingness to tell the truth. In a world of growing complexity leaders are increasingly dependent on their subordinates for good information, whether the leaders want to hear it or not. Followers who tell the truth and leaders who listen to it are an unbeatable combination.”
Warren G. Bennis
“We are drawn to easy labels. ... It's a human characteristic to dichotomize things into black and white because it makes things seem so clear. But if you did the real story about a triangle like this, it wouldn't be as interesting.”

Charles Payne
“This is one of my favorite topics. As a car ages, it develops certain quirks and characteristics that we understandably perceive as a personality. Nostalgia plays an important part. The car becomes part of memories of what you did with or in it.”
Joe Wiesenfelder
“This certainly smacks of cronyism, ... The most outstanding characteristic of this appointee seems to be her long association with the president.”
