Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew andchoke as much as possible.
My great concern is not whether you have

I destroy my enemies when I make them myfriends.
I don't like that man. I must get to know himbetter.
If you look for the bad in people expecting to
find it, you surely will.
No matter how much cats fight, there alwaysseem to be plenty of kittens.

Character is like a tree and reputation like ashadow. The shadow is what we think of it; thetree is the real thing.
I don't know who my grandfather wasI am much more concerned to know what hisgrandson will be
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you
want to test a man's character, give him power.No man has a good enough memory to be asuccessful liar.
