gptkbp:famousQuote
|
The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
