QuotesOur greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.

Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.Slide8
