Quotes

I can trust my friends. . . . These people force me to examine myself encourage me to grow.

Life is about enjoying yourself and having a good time.

If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.

Life is about enjoying yourself and having a good time.

I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.

Women are the real architects of society.

I can trust my friends These people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.

Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable. .
