Top 10 Les Brown Quotes
Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.
Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.
Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life.
Just because Fate doesn't deal you the right cards, it doesn't mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.
