“In comparison to a prior study that we did among male physicians, the risk of sudden cardiac death during vigorous exertion was approximately 19 times higher in men than in women.

Christine Albert

Colin Powell
“Any committee is only as good as the most knowledgeable, determined and vigorous person on it. There must be somebody who provides the flame.”
Claudia Lady Bird Johnson
“When she speaks it is as if very thick olive oil is pouring vigorously over gravel chippings.”
Colin McDowell
