“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
“The true measure of a man is what he would do if he knew he would never be caught.” “There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.” “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.” “Life should be great rather than long.” |
