Ralph Waldo Emerson
Two touch the string, The harp is dumb.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Most people, who have quit smoking, have had at least one unsuccessful try in the past. It is not important how many times you try to quit. The only important thing is, that eventually you stay quit
