E. B. White True Quotations

Picture an iceberg. The bulk of its power lies below the surface. The part of the iceberg that sunk the Titanic, for example, was not the 10 percent above the water; it was the 90 percent below the surface that did the damage. For human beings, it is also often true that the 90 percent below the surfaceùour unconscious beliefs, attitudes and habitsùsinks our fondest hopes and dreams.

We won't know the true amount until the dust settles.

It's not strictly true to say there was only minor damage to refineries. When you sit down you can see about four million barrels per day of refining capacity is down as a result of Rita and Katrina.

In the matter of stepping up to our true potential, everybody wants to go to heaven and nobody wants to die. We want all the goodies without paying the price.
