Reba McEntire "All the money in the world can't buy you back good health." Jiddu Krishnamurti "There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning." 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." Elbert Hubbard "A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success." Steve Jobs "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." |
