Sir Winston Churchill - “I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.”
Oscar Wilde - “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.
