An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past." "Jesus wept; Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization." "The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage; they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human."

Once you deal with it, you are free of it; and you are free to embrace your life and be a happy loving person because if you don’t, the past will come back to haunt and keep coming back to haunt you."― Boris Kodjoe "One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular."― Tony Robbins
