Edited by The Doctor: 1/5/2015 7:41:07 PMA man who follows someone else's rules isn't a man at all. One who knows nothing can understand nothing. "You can't break a man the way you do a dog or a horse - the harder you beat a man, the taller he stands.” What seperates the strong from the weak is the abillity to take the beating, hell, to love the beating... No matter how great the pain..." And my all time favorite - A man chooses, a slave obeys. IF ANYONE GUESSES ORIGIN OF ALL OF THEM THEY GET........ A MYSTICAL COOKIE!!!
