Mountain Quotes - Page 27

• I've travelled all around the world to see the rivers and the mountains, and I've spent a lot of money.

Just think: the history would have been very flat, without any salt, tasteless. Marriage keeps this whole "sorry-go-round" on and on. People call it "merry-go-round".

  Rajneesh

Your name is who you are and how you're known even when you do something great or something dumb.
