Virgil

Proverb, Chinese

Reagan, Ronald
It is better for the development of character and contentment to do certain things badly for yourself than to have them done better for you by someone else.
You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Francis, Clarence
