Napoleon Hill

But he has no right to mislead others, who have less access to history, and less leisure to study it, into the false belief that "our fathers who framed the Government under which we live" were of the same opinion - thus substituting falsehood and deception for truthful evidence and fair argument.”
Abraham Lincoln

They live without expressing the authenticity of what abides deep within them because the approval of others is more important to them than self-approval.”
T.D. Jakes
