Vincent Thomas "Vince" Lombardi 4.7143 average rating Rate this Quote

Have a purpose in life and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you." Thomas Carlyle 3.6000 average rating Rate this Quote

That is why I think a photograph can be kind." Albert Einstein 4.7250 average rating Rate this Quote
