Definitely there has to be checks and balances. All the formations have to be reviewed in terms of the numbers. There should be no ghost members of the military, people should be accountable. Your battalion, the number of your members should be accounted for, for weapons or salaries, for munitions for food. These are basic things it doesn’t need a genius (to understand). – Hoshiyar Zebari	Found on Reuters 9 years ago

I don't have a problem with guilt about money. The way I see it is that my money represents an enormous number of claim checks on society. It's like I have these little pieces of paper that I can turn into consumption. If I wanted to, I could hire 10,000 people to do nothing but paint my picture every day for the rest of my life. And the GNP would go up. But the utility of the product would be zilch, and I would be keeping those 10,000 people from doing AIDS research, or teaching, or nursing. I don't do that though. I don't use very many of those claim checks. There's nothing material I want very much. And I'm going to give virtually all of those claim checks to charity when my wife and I die. – Warren Buffett	added by anonymous 10 years ago

Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account. – Oscar Wilde	added by anonymous 13 years ago
The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks. – Rupert Murdoch	added by anonymous 14 years ago
