“ There is no escape — man drags man down, or man lifts man up.”
“ I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” “ If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.” “ Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” |
