    Clive Palmer's Poetry As Motivational Posters

    Before turning to politics, Clive Palmer showed us there really is a heart of gold under that tough facade. Poetry quotes courtesy of theguardian.com

    In his mid 20s, Clive Palmer published a book of poetry titled 'Dreams, Hopes and Reflections.'

    The book included some deep, life-changing thoughts

    And also reflected on a world outside of riches and wealth

    He seemed intent on pondering what indeed was a better world..

    And at times seemed a little love-sick

    :( :(
