I would not want to write something about something I do not think about

Success doesn't happen by mistake. You have to strategically plan it first, and then consistently visualize its manifestation in your mind, while tirelessly working it.

The Republicans claim they are for strengthening Pell grants when the truth is that over the last four years, their legislation has done the exact opposite.

He who gives early gives twice.

The reason I want to be alone, is I'm tired of all the things that went wrong that would've went right if I had did 'em on my own
