I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special.

John Donne

?What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and work flow.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Perseverance - a lowly virtue whereby mediocrity achieves an inglorious success.

Ambrose Bierce
