“If you ever manage to become perfect, you have to die instantly before you ruin things for everyone else.”

“Alan, you seem to think we won't like you unless you do things just like everyone else. Have you ever thought we might like you because you're different?”

“I promise to pay you before you die - but you have to promise not to die.”

“When you're rotten about yourself, you become rotten to everyone else, even those
you love.”

“Because you aren't who you think you are. You aren't what everyone else believes. You might have delivered countless deaths but you love more fiercely than anyone I've ever known.”

“When I went home to my family in May, 1770, from the town meeting in Boston, which was the first I had ever attended, and where I had been chosen in my absence, without any solicitation, one of their representatives, I said to my wife, "I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give you this warning, that you may prepare your mind for your fate." She burst into tears, but instantly cried out in a transport of magnanimity, "Well, I am willing in this cause to run all risks with you, and be ruined with you, if you are ruined."”

“I've always sort of wondered: If everyone else's opinion is what matters, then do you ever really have one of your own?”

“If you want your country to be right, you have to be right. As Christ said, you must become perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect.”

“If you take a risk, two things will happen. People will laugh at you, or you'll be way ahead of everyone else. ”

“WORTH IT and perfect are different things. No one’s perfect, yet in romance, everyone becomes WORTH IT. And that’s the trick.”
