Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes over night. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.

True hospitality consists of giving the best of yourself to your guests.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

So, after all, we are but puppets, creatures of our fate, not commanding it but being molded by it.

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

...without equality there can be no democracy.

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
