Roy H. Williams

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.

Confucius

Nobody gets praised for the right reasons.

Diana Wynne Jones

It's funny how people who ain't never been down there can think that America is so fair and that we should be alright. It's funny that the people who have their foot on our neck are telling us, 'Get up. What's wrong with you?'

Ice Cube

What, man, defy the devil. Consider, he's an enemy to mankind.

William Shakespeare
