“Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.”
“That's what you want to do? Then nothing beats a trial but a failure. Give it everything you've got. I've told you many times, 'Cant do is like Dont Care.' Neither of them have a home.”
