| By the street of by-and-by, one arrives at the house of never. Miguel de Cervantes (1524-1616) |
I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are more hills to climb. I have taken a moment to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibility, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended. Nelson Mandela (1918 -2013) |
I have learnt that everyone wants to live on tops of mountains but all the happiness and growth occur while you’re climbing. Andy Rooney, journalist |
