You build your 'COURAGE MUSCLE' daily, by being courageous in little things. Just do right.

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation.

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise. I rise. I rise.

If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow. Today I am blessed.

I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.

Live as though life was created for you.

Someone was hurt before you, wronged before you, hungry before you, frightened before you, beaten before you, humiliated before you, raped before you... yet, someone survived... You can do anything you choose to do.
