Myranda Trevino Quotes & Sayings

It is not eminent talent that is required to ensure success in any pursuit, so much as purpose-not merely the power to achieve, but the will to labour energetically and perseveringly.

It is one that has turned from its true path and is groping in the darkness of remembered ways - — Malcolm Lowry
