Sakshi Chetana

The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel; its poverty by how little.

William R. Alger

One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important to you. Perfection does not exist -- you can always do better and you can always grow.

Les Brown

The way of paradoxes is the way of truth.

Oscar Wilde
