AMERICAN HISTORY

The Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work.
Hard work is the price we must pay for success.
I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.

                                                                                                                            -Vince Lombardi
 

Always strive for perfection, yet remain humble enough to accept the absolute best you can be with inner peace and personal satisfaction.
                                                                                                                            -Anonymous
