This is to have succeeded."― Ralph Waldo Emerson "Beware the barrenness of a busy life."― Socrates "And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say you’re going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them and even if you don’t agree with them."― Michelle Obama
