“Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring.”

Courage is grace under pressure.

We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it.

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.

When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
