"Keep your hand on the plow. Hold..." - Quote by Langston Hughes

“The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night And I love the rain.”

“Don't come giving me, who's old enough to die and too near blind to create anything any more anyhow, a great big banquet that you eat up in honor of your own stomachs as much as in honor of me- who's toothless and can't eat.”

“Life for me ain't been no crystal stair”

“Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor.”

“If you give up before your goal has been reached, you are a "quitter." A QUITTER NEVER WINS AND A WINNER NEVER QUITS. Lift this sentence out, write it on a piece of paper in letters an inch high, and place it where you will see it every night before you go to sleep, and every morning before you go to work”

“Be honest with yourself and with people always do everything on time. Never give up, go to your goals, even if all the bad. In this life, all really, you only need to do. The more I talk to people, the more I am convinced that in general they have one goal - to become the richest dead in the cemetery.”

“How many times it thundered before Franklin took the hint! How many apples fell on Newton's head before he took the hint! Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.”

“Austere perseverance, hash and continuous... rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistible greater with time.”

“It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.”
