Famous Quotes & Sayings

John Carlos

In life, there's the beginning and the end. The beginning don't matter. The end don't matter. All that matters is what you do in between – whether you're prepared to do what it takes to make change.

I don't really know. I think the first test is when you're very little and you fart, and you laugh at it and so do your friends and family.
