• There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
• I think we have the kind of friendship were if I were the devil, you’d be the only one I would tell.
• A friend is a gift you give yourself.
• A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.
