Words of wisdom from author Tom Clancy, born 12 April 1947.
- The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
- Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die.
- The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
- Whenever somebody comes up with a good idea, there's somebody else who has never had a good idea in his life who stands up and says, Oh, you can't do that.
- Fighting wars is not so much about killing people as it is about finding things out. The more you know, the more likely you are to win a battle.
- The only way to do all the things you'd like to do is to read.
- Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.
- Courage is being the only only one who knows how terrified you are.
- I am a politician which means I am a liar and a crook. When I am not kissing babies I am stealing their lollypops.
- We cannot fail to win—unless we fail to try.
