Max Muller

It's better to have loved and lost than to have to do forty pounds of laundry a week.

Orson Scott Card

Albert Einstein

People aren't going to talk about it except me and that is communication and the visits I have personally had in our meetings with our store managers saying if you do these things you will be terminated, period.

Lee Scott
