Earl Nightingale

Henry Louis Gates

Business is in itself a power.

Garet Garrett

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls

Kahlil Gibran

The man who follows a crowd will never be followed by a crowd.

Bob Hope

The biggest shortage of all is the shortage of common sense.
