My Father taught me how to be a man—and not by instilling in me a sense of machismo or an agenda of dominance. He taught me that a real man doesn't take, he gives; he doesn't use force, he uses logic; doesn't play the role of trouble-maker, but rather, trouble-shooter; and most importantly, a real man is defined by what's in his heart, not his pants.

A lot of people don't have the courage to do it.

To be mature means to face, and not evade, every fresh crisis that comes.

—Fritz Kunkel

By the time I'd grown up, I naturally supposed that I'd be grown up.
