There are two types of people in this world: those who leave a mark, and others who just leave a stain. – Unknown
There are two types of people in this world; good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more. –Woody Allen
There are two kinds of people; those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there. –Indira Gandhi
