    “Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” ~ Winston Churchill

      “Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.” ~ Billy Graham

        “Love is a form of work or a form of courage.  Specifically, it is work or courage directed toward the nurture of our own or another’s spiritual growth.  We may work or exert courage in directions other than toward spiritual growth, and for this reason all work and all courage is not love.  But since it requires the extension of ourselves, love is always either work or courage.  If an act is not an of work or courage, then it is not an act of love.  There are no exceptions.” ~ Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled

          “Love is a ladder.  It starts with one person, it ends with the totality.  Love is the beginning, God is the end.  To be afraid of love, to be afraid of the growing pains of love, is to remain enclosed in a dark cell.  Modern man is living in a dark cell.  It is narcissistic – narcissism is the greatest obsession of the modern mind.  And then there are problems, which are meaningless.  There are problems that are creative because they lead you to higher awareness.  There are problems that lead you nowhere; they simply keep you tethered, they simply keep you in your old mess.  Love creates problems.  You can avoid those problems by avoiding love – but those are very essential problems!  They have to be faced, encountered; they have to be lived and gone through and gone beyond.  And to go beyond, the way is through.  Love is the only real thing worth doing.  All else is secondary.  If it helps love, it is good.  All else is just a means, love is the end.  So whatsover the pain, go into love.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships

            “You have to be brave with your life so that others can be brave with theirs.” ~ Katherine Center, The Gifts of Imperfection

              “Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.” ~ William Shakespeare
