Let us all be brave enough
to die the death of a martyr,
but let no one lust for martyrdom.

Give your time and efforts freely or not at all.
When you are tempted to say,
"Oh, if I have to, I'll skip my golf game
and watch my daughter play soccer," don't do it.
Either generate the heart-felt emotion
to make the free-will gift,
"I'd love to watch your game today, Sandy,"
or the honesty to decline the request gracefully.
Martyrdom doesn't create happiness
for any of the parties involved.
An honest, "No" is preferable to a coerced "Yes."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I preferred that it be postponed.
- Winston Churchill

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence -
is the key to unlocking our potential.

Relief has its place. But what the people need

release of their own potential for development.

If I were to wish for anything,

Pleasure disappoints; possibility never.
- Soren Kierkegaard

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.

and fight for your dreams.

I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay
