Quote examples
Douglas Fairbanks
American Actor
Mind you, physical training doesn't necessarily mean going to an expert for advice. One doesn't have to make a mountain out of a molehill. Get out in the fresh air and walk briskly - and don't forget to wear a smile while you're at it. Don't over-do. Take it easy at first and build on your effort day by day.

American Businessman

Friedrich Schiller
German Dramatist
