The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.
" We are all Americans." " The future will be better tomorrow." " The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable." " The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." " A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards." |
