Philosophy
"Dead last is greater than did not finish which trumps did not start". This is an anonymous quote that may not appear to be eloquent nor scholarly but speaks simply to the heart and the passions of a person. Thomas Edison has been quoted as saying 'If we did all the things we are capable of we would astound ourselves'. So, why wouldn't you want to astound yourself?"
