• A
  fighter's dream is to win a world title and gain financial stability.

  life. It is a great honor for me to be the face of my people and to let

  all of the Filipinos living throughout the world and it is these people
  that I fight for each and every time I step into the ring.

• For if there were a list of cosmic things that unite us, reader and writer, visible as it scrolled up into the distance, like the introduction to some epic science-fiction film, then shining brightly on that list would be the fact that we exist in a financial universe that is subject to massive gravitational pulls from states.

• The Zionist movement did not send any assistance, financial or otherwise, for the victims of Nazism and it did not allow any other side to provide any kind of aid.

If it had to publish anything, it did so by questioning that information and diminishing its importance.

• It took us years to get into the mess that we got ourselves in at the end of 2008, and it's going to take a while to get us out. We lost eight million jobs, we saw a financial system near collapse, we have a continuing housing crisis that we're making progress on dealing with.
