What I've accomplished for myself is beyond my wildest dreams. What I accomplished for my country is one of my most proud achievements.

Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others... love yourself and you will be loved.

Praise they that will times past, I joy to see My selfe now live: this age best pleaseth mee.

In a way, humans are not made of skin and bones as such, as we're made of stories.

The prize of all too precious you.
