More from Henrik Ibsen

• The minority is always right.
• Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.
• This day does not belong to one man but to all. Let us together rebuild this world that we may share in the days of peace.
• As many arrows, loosed several ways, come to one mark ... so may a thousand actions, once afoot, end in one purpose.
• Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out. You need to be steady, and measured, and well-informed.
• Being in power is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
