Charles Dickens
“The fountain in the village flowed unseen and unheard, and the fountain at the chateau dropped unseen and unheard—both melting away, like the minutes that were falling from the spring of Time—through three dark hours.

Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Richard Paul Evans

Without great mountains we cannot reach great heights. And we were born to reach great heights.”
Richard Paul Evans, Miles to Go

Dave Pelzer
“The body can endure practically anything--pain, fatigue, you name it-- but its the mind that matters.”
Dave Pelzer, Help Yourself: Finding Hope, Courage, And Happiness
