Colin Powell "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." Yoko Ono "I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive." Frank Lloyd Wright "The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope." |
