Courage looks you straight in the eye. She is not impressed with power trippers, and she knows first aid. Courage is not afraid to weep, and she is not afraid to pray, even when she is not sure who she is praying to. When she walks, it is clear she has made the journey from loneliness to solitude. The people who told me she was stern were not lying; they just forgot to mention she was kind.

J. Ruth Gendler

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

People who deal with life generously and large-heartedly go on multiplying relationships until the end.
