But if you maintain strong family values and you believe in God, you can be successful. So, it's been tough, but I've gotten through it because I stuck with my family and my deep belief in God.
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business.
Think it over, think it under.

Indo-European peoples and Semitic peoples are today still completely different... Jews almost everywhere form a special society...
