Common life Quote by Charles Akes

“I'm just a common man with common thoughts, and I feel I've lived a pretty common life; there will never be any monuments dedicated to me, and undoubtedly my name will be forgotten; but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.” quote by Charles Akes
