But then again, we were in a better position after 50 minutes (on Sept. 11, 2001) to defend it, just by virtue of people in the plane ? the last plane ? knowing what was happening and taking the plane down rather than allowing the terrorists to fly the plane into the Capitol.

 Successful and fortunate crime is called virtue.
  Seneca

 We're as blessed by helping as the people we help. It makes you realize just how fortunate you are.

 Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival. Celebrations of Life, 1981

 I'm happy because I really, really liked '80s music. It's the fun element. It makes people happy and want to dance and have a good time.
