The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up.

A great many men's gratitude is nothing but a secret desire to hook in more valuable kindnesses hereafter.

Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.

My father who was from a wealthy family and highly educated a lawyer Yale and Columbia walked out with the benefit of a healthy push from my mother a seventh grade graduate who took a typing course and got a secretarial job as fast as she could.

I was very happy being a secretary. I loved working for the government. I was very happy with my life.

A reporter's ability to keep the bond of confidentiality often enables him to learn the hidden or secret aspects of government.

I am often asked if when I was secretary I had problems with foreign men. That is not who I had problems with because I arrived in a very large plane that said United States of America. I had more problems with the men in our own government.

One of my goals upon becoming Secretary of State was to take diplomacy out of capitals out of government offices into the media into the streets of countries.
