THINKERS
* When you walk what you talk

people listen.
* If you can read and don’t you are an illiterate by choice.
* The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
* In youth we learn in age we understand.
* You’ll never get ahead until you start advancing.
* Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
* Life is a great big canvas and you should throw all the paint

on it you can.
* Big shots are little shots who keep shooting.
