"Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician."

"The will to survive is not as important as the will to prevail... the answer to criminal aggression is retaliation."

"The purpose of the pistol is to stop a fight that somebody else has started, almost always at very short range."

"The media insist that crime is the major concern of the American public today. In this connection they generally push the point that a disarmed society would be a crime-free society. They will not accept the truth that if you take all the guns off the street you still will have a crime problem, whereas if you take the criminals off the street you cannot have a gun problem."

I struggle bad with this, but it is my favorite quote:

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway!
...Mother Theresa
