Greed Quotes

You can’t travel the back roads very long without discovering a multitude of gentle people doing good for others with no expectation of gain or recognition.

People often misjudge this Picture Quote #1

The beauty was in the waking of the powerless. Is it always to be true that it is impossible to have things strong and at the same time beautiful? The famished men need not stay famished.
