Thomas Jefferson

Life, Men, Long

Never take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in.

Bill Cosby

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.
Marilyn Monroe

Alone, Movies, Night

Eminem

Positive, Learning, Problems
