P.S, All the quotes are from one of my favourite sites called "BRAINY QUOTES". 
You can find much useful and interesting information, quotes of famous people of the past and present and articles about them. 

I recommend the site to those who love quotes, who study English, who think about life and who have questions to answer by experienced people.
