Showing: 1 - 10 Critics Quotes of 12

Diplomacy Quote
There are times when even the greatest tactician in diplomatic cunning is outclassed in his own game.

Life Quote
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
Wisdom Quote
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Motivational Quote
