"The sea is dangerous, and its storms terrible, but these obstacles have never been sufficient reason to remain ashore... Unlike the mediocore, intrepid spirits seek victory over things that seem impossible. It is with an iron will that they embark on the most daring of all endeavors."--Ferdinand Magellan, Explorer (c. 1520)
"Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast... and one day you will build something that endures; something worthy of your potential." --Epictetus, Roman teacher, philosopher 55-135 A.D.
"Believe in yourself. You gain strength, courage and confidence in every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face... You must do that which you think you cannot do." --Eleanor Roosevelt
"Happiness is in the journey, not the destination"
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away."
"Pain is temporary...glory is forever."
"Dum spiro, spero. --While I breathe, I hope." Cicero
