I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jerry SeinfeldIf every man loves his mother, he’s going to treat the ladies right, with love and respect.

RihannaFreedom does not die from frontal attack. It dies because men in power no longer believe in a system based upon liberty.
Herbert HooverBecause I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

Anne FrankRather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Henry David Thoreau
