Favorite Quote:
"There are things a man should believe in whether they are true or not... Whether the ideas are popular or looked down on by others.
He should believe in honor, loyalty and courage. He should believe that all people are inherently good, that good always conquers evil, that power and money mean nothing, that a man's word is a sacred bond, and that true love always lasts forever.
He should believe these things whether they are true or false because they are the only things in this world that are worth believing in."
