Their best illuminations come from above through the skylight.: Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894)
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.: Bill Cosby (1937 - )

He who is determined not to be satisfied with anything short of perfection will never do anything to please himself or others.: William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)
