Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You know the words from the Bible: 'Build not on sand, but on rock....' Tyrant leaders respect only firmness...and laugh at persons who give in to them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Happiness doesn't depend on the actual number of blessings we manage to scratch from life, only our attitude towards them.
