Samuel Smiles
Where there is a will there is a way'.' is an old true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement. To think we are able, is almost to be so to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself.
Samuel Smiles
