So long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known.

William Hague

Jamal Crawford reminds me the most of myself, the way he goes to the basket. But they need leadership.

Earl Monroe

George, she says it's the truth that matters. We live and die for the chance to maybe tell a little bit of the truth, maybe shame the Devil just a little bit before we go.

Mira Grant

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.
