Quote from James Gordon

“It’s not that some people have willpower and some don’t. It’s that some people are ready to change and others are not.”

Quote from Charles Dickens

“There is no doubt that Marley was dead. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate.”
A Christmas Carol

Quote from the Goo Goo Dolls

“Forgotten but not gone
 You drink it off your mind
 You talk about the world
 Like it’s someplace that you’ve been”
Broadway

Quote from George Jackson

“Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it’s cowardice.”

Quote from Voltaire

“Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.”
