Something that will either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos. ~James Michael

If such writers go wrong, it is not for the mere brains to tell them so ~Gertrude Atherton

Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback. ~Michelle Obama
#quotes #michelle-obama #patriotism

By force of being such an agent, he is possessed of a taste for effective work, and a distaste for futile effort. ~Thorstein Veblen
#quotes #thorstein-veblen #human
