Kim Atienza Quotes & Sayings

This is not a con game in the criminal sense, in which con artists deliberately dupe the suckers. Instead it's a form of good salesmanship, where the first principle is to sell yourself first. We sell ourselves on the value of education in solving social problems, and then we buy what we're selling.

Will we really have the strength to downgrade back to basic or even to "digital silver"? Doubtful. — Anonymous

I shall never taste a deeper bliss, till I gaze on the glorified face of Jesus himself. — John Gibson Paton
