Elbert Hubbard "A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success." Lao Tzu "Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy." Alan Alda "Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart." Joel Osteen "You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue." Calvin Coolidge "Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity." |
