More on creation
Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.
Robert KiyosakiRobert Kiyosaki When you can look forward, and the road is clear ahead, and now you are going to create something – that’s as happy as I’d want to be.
Alfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock The highest praise of God consists in the denial of him by the atheist who finds creation so perfect that it can dispense with a creator.
Marcel ProustMarcel Proust Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character.
Calvin CoolidgeCalvin Coolidge All creative people want to do the unexpected.
