Trevor
“Democracy is finished in England. It may be here.”
“Don't get mad, get even.”
“He may be president, but he still comes home and swipes my socks.”
“I have no political ambitions for myself or my children.”
“More men die of jealousy than of cancer.”
“Jack doesn't belong anymore to just a family. He belongs to the country.”
“There are only two pursuits that get in your blood: politics and the motion picture business.”
“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”
Quotes by Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Sr. Born September 6 1888.
1. I'll go with Mayan cuz I feel lucky.
2. Um, I have seen all the movie trailers - it is 2012. I have to start planning my outfit.
3. Do the Right Thing. And she did.
4. Eek eek eek. Ypres said a mouse.
5. The really quiet one. You know, with no sound. Just the crunch of popcorn and sound of matches striking to light cigs. They were allowed in theatres in those days.
