"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." "The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do." "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." "The art of pleasing is the art of deception." "It is not how old you are but how you are old." "A man who is afraid will be in the right, but he will not be in the right." "To be good is noble; but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble." Success_is_the_ability_to_go_from_one_failure_to_another_with_no_loss_of_enthusiasm. |
