Englisches Zitat von Thomas Vernor Smith als Bild

No man made great by death offers more hope to lowly pride than does Abraham Lincoln; for while living he was himself so simple as often to be dubbed a fool.

Thomas Vernor Smith

Deutsche Übersetzung

Kein Mensch, der durch den Tod großartig gemacht wurde, bietet mehr Hoffnung für den niedrigen Stolz als Abraham Lincoln; denn während er lebte, war er selbst so einfach, dass er oft als Dummkopf bezeichnet wurde.

Abraham Lincoln because he was a man filled with great compassion who believed that all men are created free and equal, and was not afraid to stand on that platform. The way Lincoln lived his life has served me well in mine.

Englisches Zitat von Gilbert Parker als Bild

Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over; but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of one's lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning; and life at that price is not worth living.

Englisches Zitat von Conor McGregor als Bild

I've read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home, I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I've read because he is, like, a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I'm not a big reader.
