Words of Encouragement
These are some of my favorite quotes, they always uplift my spirit and help me to move past my brief moments of doubt. I hope that they may do the same for you.

Pearl S. Buck, 1892-1973

"We are all afraid - for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because it's engagement with what it has set itself to do. The personal commitment and the emotional commitment of working together as one, has made the Ascent of Man."
Jacob Bronowski, 1908-1974
British Mathematician, Writer and TV Presenter
"Never give in!
Never give in!
Never, never, never, never-
in nothing great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense."
Winston Churchill, 1874-1965

American Civil Rights Leader and Minister

"My message to you is:
Be Couragous!
Be as brave as your fathers before you.
Have Faith!
Go forward.

be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
