Brendan Francis

A quotation in a speech, article or book is like a rifle in the hands of an infantryman. It speaks with authority.

The prospect of success in achieving our most cherished dream is not without its terrors. Who is more deprived and alone than the man who has achieved his dream?

People who ask our advice almost never take it. Yet we should never refuse to give it, upon request, for it often helps us to see our own way more clearly.

If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.

- Brendan Francis
