FAMOUS QUOTES

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of


comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and
controversy.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
