Ralph Waldo Emerson "Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think." John Henrik Clarke "A people's relationship to their heritage is the same as the relationship of a child to its mother." Steve Harvey "Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share." Anais Nin "Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country." |
