I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.                    ––Thomas Paine

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can – and surely will at times – fail. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.                                                    ––Joyce Brothers

Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.                                                                 ––Victor Hugo

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.                ––Abraham Lincoln
