I know what you are thinking: ‘What would a couple of quotes change about my life?’ If you think about them like this, they won’t do much. But if you learn from each of them and start to make slight changes in your life, suddenly you will look back and say, ‘Wow, this indeed did something to me.’ I hope this will happen with you. Now, let me share some Quotes to Live By. Here are 20 quotes I wish every young man could hear:
1) Actions prove who someone is. Words only prove who they want to be.
2) Keep it private until it is permanent.
3) Success is never owned. It is rented, and the rent is due every day.
