Truth is the only merit that gives dignity and worth to history.

John Acton

One golden rule is to accept the interpretation honestly put on the pledge by the party administering it.

If one wants to abide in the thought-free state, a struggle is inevitable. One must fight one's way through before regaining one's original primal state. If one succeeds in the fight and reaches the goal, the enemy, namely the thoughts, will all subside in the Self and disappear entirely.

Ramana Maharshi

Florence King

Scott Reed

I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.

Alexander Wang

I'm happy because I won't have to train again, or travel or sit in team hotels.

Romario
