Two of Diamonds Life Path: 30/3
“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.” - Ella Wilcox “I must live my life, not yours, my friend,
For so it was written down;
We must follow our given paths to the end,
But I trust we shall meet - in town.” - Ella Wilcox “Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it.” - Ella Wilcox “We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest;
And deal full many a thoughtless blow,
To those who love us best.” - Ella Wilcox “All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand.” - Ella Wilcox “Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes.” - Ella Wilcox
“Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.” - Napoleon Hill
