Personal Quotes

I do to others what they do to me, only worse.

Nobody in this country respects what’s weak. You believe me!

Don’t let any man into your cab, your home, or your heart, unless he’s a friend of labor.

I can tell you this on a stack of Bibles: prisons are archaic, brutal, unregenerative, overcrowded hell holes where the inmates are treated like animals with absolutely not one humane thought given to what they are going to do once they are released. You’re an animal in a cage and you’re treated like one.
