Hillary Clinton needs no advice from anyone.

Take a shot of vodka and hope for the best.

The Irish are the only men who know how to cry for the dirty polluted blood of all the world.

If you are wiling to do something that might not work, you are closer to being an artist.

If a person has ten habits out of which nine are good and one bad, that bad one will destroy the good ones.
