| gptkbp:famousQuote |
"I never met a man I didn't like."
"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." "There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves." "The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a match." |
