It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar

don't make.

confidence, wear out your spirit and keep you living in "what was" and not "what is." Or they

built on what you are capable of achieving at this very moment in time. Don't live in the past
- learn from it.
Connie Podesta
