Quotes
“My toast is simply that I wish
everyone thousands of times more
than I have gotten in my life. I’ve
been a man overly rewarded in my
lifetime, and that’s a fact. I
appreciate what’s happened to me
and I wish everyone in the world a
lot of sweet things, pleasant
dreams, hugging, kissing and peace
in our time. And may the last voice
you hear be mine!”
