Oprah Winfrey

John F. Kennedy

Barack Obama

C.S. Lewis

“The only way to overcome your fears is to "do the thing you fear," as Emerson wrote, "and the death of fear is certain.”
Brian Tracy

“Las decepciones amorosas, generalmente tienen el efecto de conducir a los hombres a la bebida, y a las mujeres a la ruina; y esto, porque la mayoría de la gente nunca aprende el arte de transmutar sus emociones más fuertes en sueños de carácter constructivo.”
