“You shouldn't be too hard with little boys. You should treat them as precious, because that's what they are. —James Harker”

“Life is hard when you have no one to stick up for you. People push you around, purely because there's no one to stop them from pushing you around.”

“You get as many chances as you want; as many as you dare to make for yourself.”

“Now you, as a young person, may have no faith in your country, or in your church, or in your family. But you can still have faith in an ideal. If you have an ideal in front of you, you will never get lost on the journey of life. It is, after all, the journey that matters.”

“But be careful about the parts you agree to play...You never know when one is going to stick.”

“Remember that, lad, if you never remember anything else. We all touch each other's lives, for better or for worse. So say the things you have to say to people while you still have the chance.”

“A person is not really gone until everyone who knew them is gone.”
