Tears are the symbol of the inability of the soul to restrain its emotion and retain its self command.

There are two kinds of talent, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while.

Pearl Bailey

I was a bit worried coming back to the Premiership from America, but I have been pleased with my form, and the interest I have received has been good for my ego. I have no worries about my fitness, and I am really looking forward to the season starting now.

George D. Prentice

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

William Ewart Gladstone

Paulo Coelho
