A crown, if it hurts us, is not worth wearing.
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.
Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be the first.
You must change in order to survive.
