Mark Twain

The law is sic a ass - a idiot.

Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist

Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.

I don't do what I'm doing to fight terror. ... I do it because I care about kids. Fighting terror is maybe seventh or eighth on my list of priorities. But working over there, I've learned a few things. I've learned that terror doesn't happen because some group of people somewhere like Pakistan or Afghanistan simply decide to hate us. It happens because children aren't being offered a bright enough future that they have a reason to choose life over death.
