Pass all the pebbles in your path,
and you will find you have crossed the mountain.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Quotations?
Hi chet bake ur speech is effective and right:
Unfortunately, how many people can live free? If you are an office clerk, you have to stay in office for more than 10 hours a day, you may have 1.5 days off if you are lunck. "Free" is too expensive for someone who don't have money to support themseleve and their family.
thank you cuz u remember me about freedom.
goodluck
