  3. Truer words have never been spoken. People need to learn to speak up instead of just sitting back and saying nothing when they disagree with something.

  7. Great saying. It's amazing how many of the 'good' people decide to stay away from challenges and challenging people as they feel it is the best thing to do.

    Just imagine how much good can come if these 'good' people banded together and decided to make a change…

  9. to be honest, actually a president is not as good as the avatar we always give it. by the way, many great sayings can also happen to our average person

  11. It is way more difficult to make money in this business then when I bought my first rental property. My area was one of the first to be hit by the recession and I can see signs of a recovery. I am looking forward to having zero empty properties.

  35. This is really so true. After all, silence is acquiescence. In other words, when we are silent, it can safely be assumed that we support the idea in question.
