Facts Quote by Melchor Lim
“Not everything that is tangible is important, and not everything that is important is tangible. For example, you may study some statistics about a famous person and not learn anything significant about who they are. When you meet the person and discover that they are kind, you may realize that this intangible characteristic says something more important about the person than the statistics did.”
