Education should prepare our minds to use its own powers of reason and conception rather than filling it with the accumulated misconceptions of the past.

Don't abuse yourself or withhold self-love or self-care.

Choose to be pro-active, assertive and self-defining.

The best way to win against the intolerable is to tolerate them, for this they have seldom dealt with. Your indulgence may soften their malice and open their eyes to more honorable ways.

Let your resistance, judgements, angers and fears inform you.

We must understand that out of community and dialogue, the answers will arrive in their own time and way.

Your struggle is your strength. If you can resist becoming negative, bitter or hopeless, in time, your struggles will give you everything.
