Clarence Francis Quotes

You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.

• Love is the soul of the world, though its body bleeds, and we must learn to bleed with it.

I was here.
