| Failure does not mean that I will never make it; It does mean that I need more practice. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. Silence propagates itself, and the longer talk has been suspended, the more difficult it is to find anything to say. A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice. Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind. Modesty may make a fool seem a man of sense. He that is of opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money. Who do these words belong to? E.V.
