“Without criticism; mediocrity reigns.”

To become, you must first come to be.

Strength does not come by numbers; it comes by one mind, one heart, and one soul.

From afar you yearn to grasp that dream; face to face you run from the hold of being awake.

If we are not allowed to deal with small problems, we will be destroyed by slightly larger ones. When we come to understand this, we live our lives not avoiding problems, but welcoming them them as challenges that will strengthen us so that we can be victorious in the future.

You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.
