Helen Keller "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." Dale Carnegie "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." Benjamin Franklin "It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it." Carl Sagan "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." Khalil Gibran "Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens." |
