Courage
The softest thing in the world dashes against and overcomes the hardest.
From James Legge, Tao Te Ching 43 (PD)
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
He who knows other men is discerning; he who knows himself is intelligent.
He who overcomes others is strong; he who overcomes himself is mighty.

To be great is to be misunderstood.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.
We never know how high we are till we are called to rise; and then, if we are true to plan, our statures touch the skies.
