Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes
The doors of wisdom are never shut.
Nothing is more fatal to health than an over care of it.

A Brother may not be a Friend, but a Friend will always be a Brother.
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
