10 November 5th Quotes: Winfrey, Schweitzer
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.
If you concentrate on what you don't have,
you will never, ever have enough.
--Oprah Winfrey
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people who
rekindle the inner spirit.
--Albert Schweitzer
