Our dignity is our own.

We can give it away if we choose, but no one can take it from us.

Not knowing everything cannot be an excuse for not doing anything.

People who suffer deserve and greatly appreciate our aid.

For that aid to be effective, however, we must have the humility to recognize their strength.

Lives flourish and justice is done by the steady force of human beings who proceed with a quiet, persistent courage.

Great changes come when we make small adjustments with great conviction.

If you want to win any meaningful kind of victory, you'll have to fight for it.

If we believe that our heroes are flawless, we begin to believe that we, being flawed, are incapable of heroism.

In this way, a belief in the perfection of others can inhibit our own growth.

Hardship can create a helpless person or a heroic one.

Your life has a natural point of aim.

It flies in the direction of your habits.

To change the direction of your life, you have to reset your habits.

Self-talk tied to disciplined practice enhances your power.

Self-talk divorced from practice is just self-delusion.

Decide who you want to be.

Act that way.

One day, it will no longer be you putting on the mask of resilience.

It will be you, resilient.

Accept that you are imperfect and always will be.

Your quest is not to perfect yourself, but to better your imperfect self.

If you want to win any meaningful kind of victory, you'll have to fight for it.

If you're growing, you're likely failing.

If you're not failing, you're likely not growing.

Are you willing to fail?

The only way out is through.

Through suffering to strength.

Through hardship to healing.

If you want to live a purposeful life, you will have to create your purpose.

Courage overcomes, but does not replace fear.

Joy overcomes, but does not replace pain.

Not knowing everything cannot be an excuse for not doing anything.

It is not enough to fight for a better world; one must also live a life that is worth fighting for.

Hardship can create a helpless person or a heroic one.
