Simone de Beauvoir "Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay." Winston Churchill "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." Carl Jung "Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity." Charles R. Swindoll "Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill." Colin Powell "Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence." |
