The soul of freedom is deathless; it cannot, and will not perish.

Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.

It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.

Your greatest fears are created by your imagination. Don't give in to them.
