“San Francisco itself is art, above all literary art. Every block is a short story, every hill a novel. Every home a poem, every dweller within immortal. That is the whole truth.”
“Win or lose today I am proud of the way my boys have played in the tournament.”
“I always said that the world is a better place because of Joey Ramone”
“Hold what you've got and hit them where you can.”

“You may talk about religion and speak about the Gospel, and say we have got the truth and the plan of salvation, and we have got the authority of the Priesthood; but if we are not honest, it does not amount to anything; for neither God nor honorable men love dishonesty. We must, therefore, be an honest people.”
