“In the space between stimulus (what happens) and how we respond, lies our freedom to choose. Ultimately, this power to choose is what defines us as human beings. We may have limited choices but we can always choose. We can choose our thoughts, emotions, moods, our words, our actions; we can choose our values and live by principles. It is the choice of acting or being acted upon.”
― Stephen R. Covey

“We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.”
― Sonia Johnson

“Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'
Like the poor cat i' the adage?”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

“Everyone thinks that having a talent is a matter of luck; no one thinks that luck could be a matter of talent.”
― Jacinto Benavente
