Who from the list below said each of these great quotes? (the answers are here)
“Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.”
“When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.”

“Having leveled my palace, don’t erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.”

“Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires.”
“There is no such thing as a perfect leader either in the past or present, in China or elsewhere. If there is one, he is only pretending, like a pig inserting scallions into its nose in an effort to look like an elephant.”

When I was getting together quotes for this post, I came across this beaut by one of the greatest of all athletes ever - Martina Navratilova. There’s just something about this quote I love:
“I came to live in a country I love; some people label me a defector. I have loved men and women in my life; I’ve been labeled ”the bisexual defector” in print. Want to know another secret? I’m even ambidextrous. I don’t like labels. Just call me Martina.”
Throw out any lingering labels you’re entertaining in your mind!
Make each moment count double,
