We can either watch life from the sidelines, or actively participate... Either we let self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy prevent us from realising our potential, or embrace the fact that when we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.

Once we choose hope, everything is possible.

A hero is an ordinary person doing things in an extra ordinary way.

Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.

I am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness.

Even if your body doesn't work the way it used to, the heart and the mind and the spirit are not diminished.

A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.
