Victor Hugo
“The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves—say rather, loved in spite of ourselves.”
Victor Hugo , Les Misérables

Willie Nelson
“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”
Willie Nelson

Marilyn Monroe
“I am not interested in money, I just want to be wonderful.”
Marilyn Monroe

T.E. Lawrence
“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”
T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph

lewis b. smedes
