It's okay if you want to go. Everyone wants you to stay. I want you to stay more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. But that's what I want and I could see why it might not be what you want.

Soren Kierkegaard

It is the right of our people to organize to oppose any law and any part of the Constitution with which they are not in sympathy.

Alfred E. Smith

My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.
