Review - No repeats!
This review is from: Life Lessons of Wisdom and Motivation - Volume III: Insightful, Enlightened and Inspirational quotations and proverbs (Kindle Edition)
So many other quote books made for a quick buck keep repeating themselves. Loved the

what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a
parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in the desert.
