It's true that if
friends can never count on you being there the next time
they need you, the place they leave for you might be very

to. I wish you wouldn't underestimate your ability to make
people love you. - Aunt Aja — Laura Florand

Sell yourself for money! why, if I were a man I would not sell one jot of liberty for mountains of gold.
