Lucky Quotes

“I love the people because I believe in God. For, if I did not believe in God, what would the people be to me?

Woe to the conquered!”

How often do we get the excuse to stop, think, and then stop thinking altogether and try to listen to what sits behind our outside of our thoughts? Poets are lucky.”
