Motivational Quotes

Success

Do not let yourselves be discouraged or embittered by the smallness of the success you are likely to achieve in trying to make life better.

But, if you make life ever so little better, you will have done splendidly, and your lives will have been worthwhile.

- Toynbee, Arnold
