What the damn hell?

Best quote: “Powerful people has powerful friends.”

“No matter how much money you have, or how clever you think you are, you can’t fix dead.”

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

“It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.”

“even the wealthiest and the most powerful people weren’t made whole by their riches or influence […] the coveted trappings of wealth were often merely bandages for wounded hearts.”
