My work gives me security, life makes me more unsure of myself.
If you have to deal with something difficult, start out easy.
The most we usually did in that time, we thought we did too little.
Man was born to work as a bird was to fly.
He who has quick success must not have much personality.
Decent people work for the sake of the pride and money.The indecent ones want to change the world and save the people.
