Somehow or other I always got myself rigged up in something sensational.

I get whatever placidity I have from my father. But my mother taught me how to take it on the chin.

Skepticism has never founded empires, established principals, or changed the world's heart. The great doers in history have always been people of faith.

Everything that I will ever accomplish, I owe to God, to my parent's sacrifices, and to the United States of America.
