<p><strong>&quot;No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.&quot;</strong></p>

<p><strong>&quot;Life is not what one lived, but rather what one remembers, and how it is remembered to tell the tale.&quot;</strong></p>

<p><strong>&quot;Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.&quot;</strong></p>

<p><strong>&quot;It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.&quot;</strong></p>

<p><strong>&quot;I would not have traded the delights of my suffering for anything in the world.&quot;</strong></p>
