"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear." - Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens)

" In life we always react when someone hurts us. Reacting to something is what we all do in life because it's part of having feelings. Sometimes our reactions go too far because of the depth of the pain we felt. Then comes along actions. Actions do speak louder than words. You can tell so much from a person's actions because in those actions is where everything lies. If a person cares for you, no matter how many up's & down's you had, their actions will prove just how much they truly care."Written in 2014 by Renee Scalfani --- Massachusetts

"You cannot think the right things or say the right things unless you're putting the right things in your mind."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Ruben Chambers --- Texas

" We humans put too much effort into trying to find those big life changing moments when the every day little things can be every bit as breathtaking. We put everything we have into finding something we can deem as perfect. Couldn't life just be so much more enjoyable if we just stopped running around missing every detail thrown in front of us, and just learned to enjoy the sheer simplicity of it all?"
Written in 2007 by Alex M. --- Ohio


" Life is about the moments you can't take back, the laughs you share with loved ones who won't live forever, and the fondness of the heartwarming, everlasting memories that by far out weigh any materialistic thing... because a life well spent is priceless, but one ignored can cost your soul everything."

" Recipe for greatness - To bear up under loss, to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief, to be victor over anger, to smile when tears are close, to resist evil men and base instincts, to hate hate and to love love, to go on when it would seem good to die, to seek ever after the glory and the dream, to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be, that is what any man can do, and so be great."--Zane Grey

This is the place. I am the one." Og Mandino --- Submitted by M.A. --- North Carolina

" Sometimes, it's not the pain that makes you suffer; it's your own negative thoughts that make things seem worse."  Author Unknown --- Submitted by Warren Counts Jr. --- New Jersey

" As nature unfolds itself daily, suddenly it dawns upon me the valuable lessons it teaches us: that to a man looking for wisdom unlocks a lot of precious gems to be mined freely. Observe how a bamboo reacts under a tempest: pliant yet sturdy. Study how a rice stalk after an honest labor finds itself filled to the brim yet bows down quietly."
