“There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction” John F. Kennedy

“Whenever a shred of hope is alive, you are still capable of changing your body and mind for the better. Life only passes you by when you give up on the idea that you can change”

“It’s not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better, the credit belongs to the man of the arena who’s face is marred by dust, sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who knows the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid soles who have never known neither victory nor defeat” Teddy Roosevelt

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of man as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing” – Helen Keller
