A miracle... my biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it's hard, everyone knows it's hard.

All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Io non sono un duro. Non lo sono mai stato. In vita mia, se devo essere completamente sincero, credo di non aver mai preso una decisione. Non mi piacciono molto le decisione. Per decidere devi essere convinto, e io non sono convinto quasi di niente. Sono più un tipo da opzioni, ecco.

Leo Tolstoy

And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Bible, Matthew 8:2122

It sounds extraordinary but it?s a fact that balance sheets can make fascinating reading.

Mary Archer

O, it is excellent to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.

William Shakespeare
