"I want all these young people to be getting a higher education, and I don’t want them loaded up with tens of thousands of dollars of debt just to get an education. That’s how we make America great.
Of course, that means all of you all have got to hit the books. I’m just saying. Don’t cheer and then you didn’t do your homework.
Because that’s part of the bargain, that’s part of the bargain—America says we will give you opportunity, but you’ve got to earn your success.
You’re competing against young people in Beijing and Bangalore. They’re not hanging out. They’re not playing video games. They’re not watching “Real Housewives.” I’m just saying. It’s a two-way street. You’ve got to earn success.
That wasn’t in my prepared remarks. But I’m just saying."

“You ride as a man, fight as a man, and you think as a man-“
“I think as a human being,” she retorted hotly. “Men don’t think any differently from women-they just make more noise about being able to.”

"Women were a regular feature of life on old navy ships. Most were the wife or girlfriend of a crewman or warrant officer; but one or two disguised themselves as men and served as ordinary ratings. All were expected to pitch in, even in battle."

One of my major disappointments with a lot of age of sail fiction is that they never explore this, and I’ve always thought IT WAS REALLY FUCKING COOL.

No Surrender (by ew611)
Nothing buoys one’s spirits like Shakespeare done well. Good heavens. Why do people always show ill will towards the histories? They are some of my very favourite plays. And look at this brilliance. I cannot wait to see this in its entirety. It already sends chills down my spine.

This is what we call excitement.
…have I mentioned the amount that I love the battle of Agincourt? Or Richard II? Or any play by William Shakespeare? Plus, Henry IV has Falstaff.
