"great men with great ideals can be separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles and still be in the same place they can be years or even generations apart in age and yet somehow find themselves on the exact same page when these men join forces with the focus of reaching the same goals to obtain the same outcomes they are not two but one instead of simply adding one's common attributes to another's they somehow tend to multiply all attributes of both the other from saint louis or eastern atlanta or a booming metropolis whether they are two or two billion the greatest their numbers could ever become is to truly become one"
