People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.

How do you feel about this quote?
"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

here is another one I heard yesterday that I like:
The world is a tragedy to hose who feel, and a comedy to those who think."Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

I need lots more bread!
