Quotes by Luís de Sttau Monteiro (?)

“Os degraus da vida são logo esquecidos por quem sobe a escada ... Pobre de quem lembre ao poderoso a sua origem... Do alto do poder, tudo o que ficou para trás é vago e nebuloso.”
― Luís de Sttau Monteiro , Felizmente Há Luar!

“Todos somos chamados, pelo menos uma vez, a desempenhar um papel que nos supera. É nesse momento que justificamos o resto da vida, perdida no desempenho de pequenos papéis indignos do que somos.”
― Luís de Sttau Monteiro, Felizmente Há Luar!
