Norman Vincent "Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have." Cherie Lunghi "just want to say to women, 'Be yourself - it's the inner beauty that counts. You are your own best friend, the key to your own happiness, and as soon as you understand that - and it takes a few heartbreaks - you can be happy.'" Sitting Bull "Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!" |
