--Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I just wanted to speak to you about something from the Internal Revenue Code. It is the last sentence of section 509A of the code and it reads: 'For purposes of paragraph 3, an organization described in paragraph 2 shall be deemed to include an organization described in section 501C-4, 5, or 6, which would be described in paragraph 2 if it were an organization described in section 501C-3.' And that's just one sentence out of those fifty-seven feet of books."

"My parents have taught me to always be proud of my ethnic background. ... On my father's side, I am African-American. On my mother's side, I am Thai. Truthfully, I feel very fortunate, and EQUALLY PROUD, to be both African-American and Asian! The critical and fundamental point is that ethnic background ... should NOT make a difference ... The bottom line is that I am an American ... and proud of it! Now, with your cooperation, I hope I can just be a golfer and a human being."
--Tiger Woods
