When one door is closed, don't you know, another is open. // The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
-Bob Marley
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. // If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
