– Benjamin E. Mays
2. “I started out with nothing… I still have most of it.”
– Anonymous
3. “Last night I lay in my bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought; where the heck is my ceiling?”
– Anonymous
4. “You may choose your word like a connoisseur, and polish it up with art, but the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, is the word that comes from the heart.”
– Ella Wheeler Wilcox
5. “I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is a sort of splendid torch, which I have got hold of for the moment; and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
– George Bernard Shaw
