13 Quotes: Huxley, Mother Teresa
Every person who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make life full, significant, and interesting.
– Aldous Huxley
If you think well of others, you will also speak well of others and to others. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If your heart is full of love, you will speak of love.
– Mother Teresa
