Quotes
“One of the things that has
helped me as much as any
other, is not how long I am
going to live, but how much
I can do while living.”
“It is not the style of clothes
one wears, neither the kind of
automobile one drives, nor the
amount of money one has in the
bank, that counts. These mean
nothing. It is simply service that
measures success.”
