Jackie Joyner-Kersee

Good, Humble, Someone

Happy, Game, Living

Nicholas Sparks

Important, Single, Two

A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that's good for America. Nobody's rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don't go away, the creative people don't go away. They get employed more productively by others.
John Stossel

Good, America, Others
