Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: And I will always be there... old friend. More Movie: X-Men [2000] Movie: X-Men [2000]
What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul. More Jewish Proverb
The successful person places more attention on doing the right thing rather than doing things right. More Peter Drucker
And we love to dance -- especially that new one called the Civil War Twist. The Northern part of you stands still while the Southern part tries to secede. More Dick Gregory
Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first. More Benjamin Franklin
