    • “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I have lived through this horror, I can take the next thing that comes along.” You must do the thing you think you cannot do!” Eleanor Roosevelt

This is to have succeeded.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

    An Uncommon Life

    "I choose not to be a common man. Me, it's my right to be uncommon if I can. I'll seek opportunity, not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen--humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I'll refuse to live from hand to mouth. I'll prefer the challenges of life to the guaranateed existence. The thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will never cower before any (human) master nor bend to any (supposed) friend. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself and face the world boldly and say, "This I have done (by God's grace and through His power)." " President Theodore Roosevelt (paranthesis added)
