C.S. Lewis

“Visualization Of, and Belief in Attainment of Desire: The Second Step toward Riches”
Napoleon Hill

“Are you disappointed with society? If you are, I challenge you to take the first step. I challenge you to look at yourself.”
Billy Graham

“Take things always by their smooth handle.”
Thomas Jefferson

“I can promise you none of these things. No sphere of usefulness; you are not needed there at all. No scope of your talents; only forgiveness for having perverted them. No atmosphere of inquiry, for I will bring you to the land not of questions but of answers, and you shall see the face of God
C.S. Lewis

Mahatma Gandhi

Some will want beating to make them move, others will be proud to go if they are allowed to wear a scrap of ribbon or gold lace.”
Leo Tolstoy
