We must accept life for what it actually is – a challenge to our quality without which we should never know of what stuff we are made, or grow to our full stature.
-Ida R. Wylie

Obstacles cannot crush me.
Every obstacle yields to stern resolve.
He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
–Leonardo DaVinci

I often quote myself.
It adds spice to my conversation.
– George Bernard Shaw
