[{(------)}]

Our greatest glory is not in never falling
but in rising every time we fall.

A friend is one that knows you as you are,
understands where you have been,
accepts what you have become,
and still, gently allows you to grow.

It’s never too late to be who you might have been.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement
that something else is more important than fear.

Once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth
with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been,
and there you will long to return.

You can’t fly a kite unless you go against the wind and you go against
the wind and have a weight to keep it from turning a somersault.
The same with man. No man will succeed unless he is ready to face
and overcome difficulties and is prepared to assume responsibilities.
