"Courage is exhilarating...." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you. It's your attention to yourself that is so stultifying. But you have to disregard yourself as completely as possible. If you fail the first time then you'll just have to try harder the second time. After all, there's no real reason why you should fail. Just stop thinking about yourself.”

“One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education.”

“Will people ever be wise enough to refuse to follow bad leaders or to take away the freedom of other people?”

“In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; . . . . Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.”

“You have to fight, you have to have courage for what you really want”

“You can never begin to live until you dare to die.”

“I guess I'm just inspired to tell stories.”

“Open to me, so that I may open.Provide me your inspirationSo that I might see mine.”

“Without such inspiration, we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish.”
