The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstition of the Christian religion.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.

A government is just only when the whole people share equally in its protection and advantages.

The most fun part about working out is being done - getting through the workout, let's be honest. But that feeling afterward? Yeah, that's worth it.
