Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain-
but for the heart to conqueor it
Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield -
but to my own strength
Let me not crave in anxious fear -
but for the hope and the patience to win my freedom
Grant me that I may not be a coward feeling your mercy in my success alone -
But let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.

The marvelous richness of the human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome
                                 Helen Keller

You can gian strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face...
YOU MUST DO THE THING YOU CANNOT DO!
                                   Eleanor Roosevelt

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened  grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft starlight at night
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep

-"Whatever you do try to have a reason for doing it"
-"Always be able to look back and say"..at least I didn't lead no humdrum life"
-" When you think your so low you gotta look up to look down- beat yourself hard on the foot for awhile. At least when you stop you'll feel better"
-"You may be an idiot but try not to be stupid"

Its the action, not the fruit of the action that is important.
You have to do the right thing.
It may not be in your power, may not be in your time that there will be any fruit.
But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing
You may never know what results come from your actions, but if you do nothing there will be no result.
