Some of us are timid. We think we have something to lose so we don't try for that next hill.

The most difficult thing in the world, it seems to me, is to realize that I am a child of God; to keep that in my mind all the time.

I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.

Continue to be bold, courageous. Try to choose the wisest thing and once you've chosen the wisest thing go out and try to achieve it. Be it.

There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

My entire stay there [high school] might have been time lost if it hadn't been for the unique personality of a brilliant teacher. Miss Kirwin was that rare educator who was in love with information. I will always believe that her love of teaching came not so much from her liking for students but from her desire to make sure that some of the things she knew would find repositories so that they could be shared again.

Success is loving life and daring to live it.
