Michael Josephson
I am not and never will be perfect. I am not always as honest, respectful, responsible, fair or as kind as I should be. All I can do is what I should do: strive every day, with every decision to be the best person I can be. I don’t expect to be perfect but I know I can be better.
Michael Josephson
Pretty isn't beauty. Pretty is how you look Beauty is who you are. Pretty is in the face and body Beauty is in the heart, mind and soul. Pretty fades Beauty grows.
Michael Josephson
