“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way.

Barack Obama

Nelson Mandela

Abraham Lincoln

“a mother explains a point to her children over and over again in different words.”
