Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

"When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope."

Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time, to figure out whether you like it or not.

"Don\'t be afraid of your fears. They\'re not there to scare you. They\'re there to let you know that something is worth it."

If you think it's hard being who "you" are, it's a whole lot harder trying to be someone you're not.
