Great Inspirational Quotes

I really enjoy reading quotations and sayings. However, the quotes need to be very selective. One shouldn't waste their time reading useless quotes instead of great quotable quotes.

The charity works with 400 hotels throughout the U.S., collects leftover soap, sanitizes and reforms it into new bars, and then distributes the soap through a network of partners to people in more than 30 countries.
