Hillary Clinton

Decision, Try, Working

Beauty, Fun, Yourself

Rush Limbaugh

Life, Work, Death

Colin Powell

Tell, Congress, Ask

When the whole world has their eyes on you, if you say something that doesn't truly come from your spirit and your soul, or if you wear something that doesn't come from your spirit and your soul, it's an injustice to your position. And so, I'm really myself every single day and I do it because I know my fans would want me to.
Lady Gaga

Single, Eyes, Soul

Stephen King

Life, God, Power

Family, Happy, Mind

Friedrich August von Hayek

Science, Today, Cannot

King Abdullah II

Life, Good, Courage

Year, Lucky, Line

E. M. Forster

Beauty, Best, Her
