Five quotes

None but ourselves can free our minds.
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively
The good times of today are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.
The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
