Napoleon Hill "Don't wait. The time will never be just right." Friedrich Nietzsche "Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called 'Ego'." Arnold Schwarzenegger "What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know." Leonardo da Vinci "The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding." |
