“If you want to find out who your real friends are, sink the ship. The first ones to jump aren't your friends.”

“If a train is coming at you, closing your eyes won't save you ... but if you look right at it, you at least have a chance to jump.”

“You can bail water 24/7, and no matter how good you are at not sinking, you still have a hole in your boat.”

“Helping save other children of humanity...should always weigh greater than all the world politics, religions and business endeavors. We either help save each other or watch our demise. It won't get better by itself!”
