Fear breeds cowardice, and cowardice compels bravery.

Happy is the soul that has a friend. Happier is the soul that trusts in the truth of the heart of a friend. Happiest is the soul that knows the solemnity of friendship and honours its laws.

Every man is the craftsman of his future, whether he hone it himself or allow fate do it.

As the sun shines I will make hay
To keep failure at bay
For there remaineth a pay
For my honest toil each day.

The Sage's Wish: Like Sun, from the East, may you continue to rise, smile and shine.

Heroes are people who face down their fears. It is that simple. A child afraid of the dark who one day blows out the candle; a women terrified of the pain of childbirth who says, 'It is time to become a mother'. Heroism does not always live on the battlefield.
