Yousuf Karsh quotes about
ability above belief common crucial determination draw found great immense moment people themselves work
I have found that great people do have in common an immense belief in themselves and in their mission. They also have great determination as well as an ability to work hard. At the crucial moment of decision, they draw on their accumulated wisdom. Above all, they have integrity.

inspirational photography character
