You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.

If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can.

I have found that the greatest help in meeting any problem with decency and selfrespect and whatever courage is demanded, is to know where you yourself stand. That is, to have in words what you believe and are acting from.

Life is like a race track full of hurdles and you have 3 options. You can either jump over them, pull them off the track or continue to trip over them.

. . . . I cannot escape my life but can only use my determination and courage to make it the best I can.

That took the kind of courage and determination you want on the Supreme Court,
