“Here is what you do, friends. Forget country. Forget king. Forget wife and children and freedom. Forget every concept, however noble, that you imagine you fight for here today. Act for this alone: for the man who stands at your shoulder. He is everything, and everything is contained within him. That is all I know. That is all I can tell you.

“If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fail. Aim to be you. Aim to look and act and think like you. Aim to be the truest version of you. Embrace that you-ness. Endorse it. Love it. Work hard at it. And don't give a second thought when people mock it or ridicule it. Most gossip is envy in disguise.”

“What we can do now,
is show her the sky,
marvel at its incomprehensible vastness.
Let's show her the beauty of new horizons,
and the value of perseverance.
We can show her that no matter how dark or
bleak or hopeless,
that her mind is her best tool,
her spirit is indomitable,
and challenge is an opportunity
to move, shift, pivot, and dance.
Let's teach her to be a sojourner,
moving through space with enough curiosity to
pick her up
and push her forward.
We can teach her to wonder,
to seek it, to love it, to challenge it.
And, honestly,
though it will not make the hard things easier,
let her overwhelming belief in herself
always motivate her.”
