Civilization Quote by Ernie J Zelinski

“Opportunity can't reward you with its many gifts if you fail to recognize it and act on it. What most people don't seem to realize is that there is just as much money to be made from the wreckage of a civilization as from the upbuilding of one. Let the good times roll!” quote by Ernie J Zelinski
