Frank Serpico

End, Fight, Justice

Robert Frost

Life, Great, Wisdom

Albert Camus

Life, Another, Perhaps

Bill Cosby

Women, Men, Children

Edgar Allan Poe

Religion, Men, Strong

Dale Carnegie

Work, Best, Nothing

There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.

Peace, Government, Talking

Crimes against children are the most heinous crime. That, for me, would be a reason for capital punishment because children are innocent and need the guidance of an adult society.
