Quote
The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
Life challenges are not supposed to paralyze you. They are supposed to help you discover who you are.
You are as old as you feel.
Good better best, never let it rest until your good is better and better is best.
