Quotes

  • College Lesson Number One: You find out who your true friends are when you stop doing favors for them.
  • College Lesson Number Two: It's dangerous to step outside of your comfort zone, particularly when mobsters are involved.
  • College Lesson Number Three: If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
  • It may sound as though I joined the Navy on a whim because I didn't have any other career options, and that wouldn't be entirely false, but it's not entirely true either. My love of the sea began in early childhood, and a sense of adventure had pushed me to join the sea service even before college. I'd been imbued with the importance of service by my parents and church my entire life. This was simply the inevitable coming to fruition.
