Idols Quote by Ann Voskamp
““Slay the idol of the seen, break the idols of performance, and believe the state of my house doesn't reflect the state of my soul...it's the priorities unseen - the prayers, the relationships, the love while doing the work - that hold the meaning, the merit.””

![“The fact that an Englishman has an Argentinian as an idol is very rare. I keep watching my [title-winning] goal against QPR and every time I get more emotional. My plan is to stay here because I'm convinced Manchester City will be at the same level as Real Madrid and Barcelona.” quote by Sergio Aguero](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/96f/sergio-aguero-29061_barcelona_the-fact-that-an-englishman-has-an-argen_16038.jpg)
