Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good things. Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it. Believe that no storm is so great that you cannot weather it. You are not destined to be a scrub. You are a child of God, of infinite capacity.

We pray that as you walk the paths of life you will walk in ways that are straight with the strength to conform even though those paths be narrow.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward, it is not a compliment to say he is brave; it is merely a loose misapplication of the word.

Renew your resolution daily, and in the hour of temptation do not depart from the right path.

Circumstances don't shape us, so much as they reveal us.

Losing one feather does not prevent a bird from flying.

If you swim with sharks, make sure you have the appetite of a whale.

A rose does not lose sleep because it was mocked by weeds.

Turn your frowns into smiles, your tears into laughter, your weaknesses into strengths, your setbacks into opportunities, and your failures into victories.

Women are the ones that bear the greatest burden. We are also the ones who nurture societies.

Circumstances do not make the man or woman, they merely reveal them.

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
