| Quotes |

Elizabeth Cady Stanton "The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality." Maya Angelou "What is a fear of living? It's being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don't know what you're here to do, then just do some good." Buddha "To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." Saint Francis "Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible." |
