"Without individuals we have no life."

"All sickness is not unto death, neither is imprisonment."

"America is woven of many strands; I would recognize them and let it so remain."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
