Dissent, fine; undermining, you're a traitor. Got it? So, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care, couldn't care less.”
“You must know the difference between imagination, theoretical knowledge and true realization. Could you nourish yourself by only listening to a talk on food?

He has been ill, yes, but he is here, and he has been fighting every day of his life in order to stay with us.
