Please, leaders of the Earth and the nations, wake up to this potentially fatal disparity.

Let us return thither. Let it be the price of our freedom to make that known.

• There are no utopia jobs on this earth, .. There's nobody out there that can say, 'I've got the ideal job and there are no problems.'

My self worth is based on my faith, how I treat others, what I'm doing right for this program and these kids and this coaching staff. Other than that, I understand you're not going to please everybody.

Don’t delay. It’s getting late.

• The horse seems to wanna please the human and so many times if the human isn’t much of a leader well then the horse has gotta do it’s own thinking. The horse isn’t really designed very well to be the leader but just because the horse is responding to ya, I don’t really think of it as it succumbing to you. I think it’s more of the horse sort of joining you, being more of a partner.
