Boris Pasternak "Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us." Socrates "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." Arthur Ashe "Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome." Leo Tolstoy "The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." Richard M. DeVos "Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A 'you can do it' when things are tough." |
