Fountain Quotations

James Madison Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig. Marcus Aurelius Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain. John Locke From such a gentle thing, from such a fountain of all delight, my every pain is born. Michelangelo God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.

They expect little and as a result they get little.
