“Andy and I--even Tom Cable and I--had always talked obsessively about what we were going to be when we grew up, but with Boris, the future had never appeared to enter his head any further than his next meal. I could not envision him preparing in any way to earn a living or to be a productive member of society.

“Flirt with many, date with intent, marry with wisdom. Flirt if you must — it teaches you charm. Date the one you love — it shows you your heart. But marry the one who loves you deeply — Because in marriage, love isn’t about who you chase, But who stays, who sees you clearly, and still chooses you. This isn’t a game of selection. It’s not handy-picking from a crowd. This is your destiny. So don’t marry to impress the world. Marry to build a world — with someone who’s already rooting for you. This is a clarion call to be wise when choosing a wife.”

"I wanted to show that if Panama could do this, so could the world. We are a small country, but we have a big heart," he cheerily explained, in an echo of a national slogan with the same refrain.”
