Bryant H. McGill

Go on with what your heart tells you, or you will lose all.

Rick Riordan

E. M. Forster

Stop harboring grudges against those who have wronged you, it just holds you back when you really want to be in the NOW.

Stephen Richards

There has to be positive action that allows the most disadvantaged people to get their fair share of job opportunities.

Paul Burton

For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements.

George Orwell

Vincent Van Gogh
