“The first rule for escaping prison in the United States is always having someone more important than yourself to incriminate.”

“The United States now has more prison inmates than full-time farmers.”

“The prison was very important - as everywhere on earth. Everywhere the building of a prison is the first step in the organization of a civilized state.”

“You're a girl. Someday you'll want to be a prisoner to someone other than yourself.”

“More die in the United States of too much food than of too little”

“I teach my sons that there are really only three rules to being a good man. The first rule is to fish often. And by fish, I mean find the quiet times to fish around in your minds for what is most important. The second rule is to protect everyone smaller than them. This means physically smaller, and in all other ways... protect the more vulnerable. The third rule states that if something is truly important to you, then you should prove it. You say you would lay your life down for someone, but will you give them the busiest five minutes of your day, if they need it?”
