Sridevi "What you feel inside reflects on your face. So be happy and positive all the time." Benjamin E. Mays "Honest communication is built on truth and integrity and upon respect of the one for the other." Eleanor Roosevelt "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'" W. H. Auden "We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know." Khalil Gibran "The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind." |
