That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.
- (Lise Hand, describing Irish journalist Veronica Guerin, who was killed as a result of her investigations of Irish organized crime.)
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, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
                - Abraham Lincoln
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.
                                         - Helen Keller
Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.
                                                           - Samuel Butler (1835-1902)
                                                             British writer
Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength.
                                                                                 - Anonymous
Success doesn't "happen." It is organized, preempted, captured, by consecrated common sense.
                                                               - F.E. Willard
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
                           - Henry Fielding
Hold yourself resonsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you.  Never excuse yourself.  Never pity yourself.  Be a hard master to yourself - and be lenient to everybody else
           - Henry Ward Beecher
There is only one real failure in life that is possible;  and that is, not to be true to the best one knows.
                                 - John Farrar
