I want this on a plaque over my desk (except I never write at my desk, so maybe tattoo it on the back of my hand):
"Four. That’s what I want you to remember. If you don’t get your idea across in the first four minutes, you won’t do it. Four sentences to a paragraph. Four letters to a word. The most important words in the English language all have four letters. Home. Love. Food. Land. Peace. I know peace has five letters, but any damn fool knows it should have four."
~ Lyndon B. Johnson
