Fountains Quote of the Day

Welcome to these Fountains Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it,
while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill.

urges men to struggle against poverty,
ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.

Take time to pray.
It is the greatest power on Earth.
Take time to love and be loved.
