“I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;I would be brave, for there is much to dare.”

“Poem by Howard A. Walter (Character)I would be true, for there are those who trust me;I would be pure, for there are those who care;I would be strong, for there are those who suffer;I would be brave, for there is much to dare.I would be friend of all--- the foe, the friendless;I would be giving, and forget the gift;I would be humble, for I know my weakness;I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift.”

“The only people I would care to be with now are artists and people who have suffered: those who know what beauty is, and those who know what sorrow is: nobody else interests me.”

“Do not trust to the cheering, for those very persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged.”

“I speak the truth, not so much as I would, but as much as I dare; and I dare a little more as I grow older.”

“I realized that anyone who dared to hurt me would suffer his full wrath, and Walt wasn’t going to hold him back.”
