positivity is the father of reinvention

All those Nupboards in the Cupboards they're good fun to have about. But that Nooth gush on my tooth brush.....Him I could do without.

Where much is expected from an individual, he may rise to the level of events and make the dream come true.

Democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.

Whoever I am, or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.

All poetry comes from repetition.

The outward work will never be puny if the inward work is great.

Just believe in your dreams.
