Quotes to Live By

When they back the ‘hearse’ up to the front door, they are not making a practice run.” – Van Crouch

“When you become certain that nothing is impossible for you, you will attain everything you desire.” - Wayne Dyer

“Nothing great has ever been achieved by being realistic. It would be an insult to your creator for you to leave this planet without fulfilling your mission. Don’t settle for a life of quiet desperation, when you were born for greatness.
– Mr. Self Development
